While Elle is forced to reexamine every painful memory of the life she left behind, Ronan grows more and more sure of her innocence. But can he trust himself to uncover the truth amid their growing attraction?
I liked this a lot except it got a bit over the top toward the end. And I could have done with a little less of a slow burn although the characters were great! I figured out the killer pretty quickly but it was still interesting. Great setting, too!
It's so beautiful here," Sara said.
Elle Randolph brought her horse to a halt next to the woman who was both her boss and one of her best friends, looking out over the rolling ranch land dotted with grazing cattle. This was not how she'd pictured Northern California, but to be fair, this was the first time she'd ever traveled this far north in what had become her home state when she'd moved from Florida three years before.
It was colder than she'd been expecting, although it wasn't the damp cold she'd experienced on the coast. She shivered in her thin black moto jacket. She was going to have to buy a heavier coat.
She and Sara had been exploring the area east of Willits, just one of many small towns dotting the 101 as it ran the length of California. This region was famous for its vineyards and there seemed to be signs for wine tasting rooms every other mile, but Elle and Sara were more interested in the farms and ranches. The mountains and the redwood forests.
