Synopsis
Sometimes starting over is simply letting go of the past... Heartbroken and in need of a fresh start, Carrie Sweet packed up her car and headed to Juniper Springs. On the road to the idyllic town with a new journalist job waiting, she encounters one roadblock after another. Stranded on the side of the road, a handsome stranger stops to offer her help. But is he a knight in shining armor or a possible serial killer? No longer the naïve Carrie, she decides to assume the worst about him. And as luck would have it, the man she treated as a stalker turns out to be her new boss, Ryan. While Carrie begins to settle in the cozy small town, she grabs the attention of a real psycho, one that’s lurking in the shadows and watching her every move. After seeking the help from lawyer and local PI Avery Hart, Carrie and Ryan find themselves caught up in an unexpected whirlwind of romance, twists, and life changing surprises. With a crazed killer in the background, surviving a heartbreak now feels like a walk in the park. It seems there’s more to starting over than just running away from the past... *The New Girl is Book 2 in the Juniper Springs series and can be read as a standalone.
