When beloved town matriarch Pearl Clemmons dies
on a warm June afternoon, the folks of Adams Grove,
Virginia, can hardly believe it. Sure, Pearl was eighty-five
years old, but everyone—particularly her granddaughter
Jill—just assumed she would live forever. Now Jill
must return home to settle Pearl's estate, comfort a town in
mourning...and face Garrett Malloy, the man who broke her
heart years ago.
Making matters worse, a string of break-ins at the Clemmons
place has Jill and the rest of the town on edge. She can't
imagine what Pearl possibly could have had that is worth
stealing. But when Jill's safety is threatened, she and
Garrett must join forces to unearth Pearl's secrets before
someone else—someone dangerous—gets there first.
Garrett may have been the last man Jill wanted to see, but
now, she may not want to let him go.
