Sheriff Andrea Jackson has moved to the quaint small
tourist town of Tall Pines to be with her grandmother who
took a fall and has refused to move to Atlanta where Andi
was with the FBI. Being the focus of gossip because of the
desertion of her father when as a child, he moved on for
his own selfish benefit leaving Andi and her mother
behind. Her mother is now deceased and she has only her
beloved grandmother. Andrea has a hard time putting her
baggage behind her. Normally a very quiet town with no
crime to speak of, this morning promised to be Andi's
challenge riddled with a lot of excitement.
Jackie, owner of Jackie's Country Kitchen, is excited
and distraught. A robbery of his chili cook-off trophies
and contents of his safe has him livid. He and his wife
Mona's deepest secrets were in that safe. Of course the
all too handsome but annoying editor of the Tall Pines
Times has to be present. Having a previous run in with
Mark Taylor when she first won the election for Sheriff,
trust is a huge issue now and absolutely no information
will be dealt to him. Mark offers to help with her
investigation by them pretending to be dating, to ward off
suspicion from the towns people. Andi is up for re-
election, and solving this case may be her only chance at
being re-elected against the previous Sheriff, Ray
Evans. Her future depends upon this election. Always
worrying about what everyone else thinks of her, Andi
enters this relationship reluctantly. Before long
their "working dates" become more for both of them. As the
election draws nearer and no arrest in sight, Andi is torn
what to do if she loses her job. Not only will she be
leaving her grandmother, but also a man she has come to
care too much about. Perhaps time has come for her to
finally lay the past aside and get on with what she truly
out of life.
This story is a wholesome read with heartfelt emotions
and family values important to every individual. Andi has
to weigh her home, family and entire community in her
decision to turn loose of the past and seek her own
happiness. I loved this cute story full of humor, emotion
and true caring for the entire community andfamily. This
author never fails to deliver! I am an avid follower of
this very talented author and read everything she writes.
There are no secrets in Tall Pines... Sheriff Andrea Jackson can't afford to become the subject of small-town gossip. With an election coming up and her job on the line, public opinion is crucial. That means keeping her distance from newspaper editor Mark Taylor. Effortlessly handsome and dangerously charming, Mark is hard to resist, but his sudden interest makes Andi wonder if his dinner invitations are for business or pleasure. Andi has to admit she could use his help in solving a local theft, but working with Mark would make her the talk of the town, or worse...it could land her on the front page.
