West Texas gossip paints every story a more
interesting shade, especially when a married man goes
missing with the local banker's wife and a stolen
fortune. Susan Maddox is tired of feeling like an
abandoned woman, and even angrier when neighbors act
as if she's the one getting away with murder. Maybe
her handsome-as-sin, bad-boy brother-in-law is the
smartest choice of ally, especially since she's never
been able to forget a star-studded night in his
convertible back in high school. But who else can she
trust to recover damning evidence from her husband's
crashed hard drive? Who else is there to pick up the
pieces when intruders set fire to her home, a truck
runs her off the road, and a trail of dead men stops
her cold?
