Grace Michaels is a historian and professor, researching one of the local families for a book she wants to write. Lately she has been having accidents either happen to her or around her and she is suspicious that they might be caused by an ex-lover teaching on campus this semester.

Ren Morello is the new Chief of Police in Cannon, Texas. He is renting the house from the parents of Grace Michaels, who lives just across the street. From the first day he met her he has been intrigued. Newly divorced, he does not want to get involved with anyone but cannot seem to help himself around Grace.

What to do when an ex-lover shows up and seems to be stealing your research again? Grace's has also had a couple of injuries as of late, and they land her in the hospital. Ren, as Chief of Police, is going crazy trying to keep Grace safe not only from herself but someone trying to kill her. The problem is he has lost his objectivity and is physically involved with her.

What do you get when you mix a cop and a college professor, add in a small town community and death threats? You come up with this tale of what someone will do to cover up a family secret or scandal including murder. This is one riveting tale that keeps you clinging to your seat all the way thru it. Now researching history will never be the same for me. I loved the untold local secret with a big mystery surrounding it also the ending that let’s you wonder about whodunit. A great adventure all tied up with 2 lovable characters and a romantic subplot of secondary cast members to finish off this fun book for all.
