Romance Suspense

More than 30 years ago, a chance sighting and a subsequent car accident changed everything for four teenagers. Three of them survived the car accident but death has come calling once again.... Dallas Phillips is devastated by her father's death and refuses to believe the initial cause of death; her father wasn't suicidal and she intends to prove it. Coming home has resurrected a lot of memories for Dallas, but none so bittersweet as once again seeing her longtime love and the man she left behind, Trey Jakes. Trey is now the police chief and willing to help Dallas in any way he can. Meanwhile, Trey's mother, Betsy, is beginning to have flashes of memory from that deadly night so many years ago. Danger lurks around every corner in the mountains. Will Dallas and Trey take this second chance at love? WILD HEARTS is the first book in Sharon Sala's Secrets and Lies series and contains two storylines, one ongoing storyline about the killer and the more immediate story of Trey and Dallas. Clues are dropped about the killer and I can't wait to see how Sharon Sala resolves this scenario! However, it is the love of Trey and Dallas that warms my heart and makes WILD HEARTS such a beautiful, moving tale. Sharon Sala puts just the right romantic touches into each one of their interactions, and my heart melted just a bit with the chocolate scene in particular. The setting of Mystic is perfect for their love and I'm excited we will get to visit Mystic once again. Sharon Sala demonstrates yet again her masterful skill at crafting beautiful, warm romantic suspense stories with WILD HEARTS. The emotional intensity of WILD HEARTS is part of the allure as Sharon Sala doesn't shirk away from addressing real world issues. Sharon Sala is one of the best in the genre and I highly recommend WILD HEARTS!

SUMMARY

Past Sins Cast a Long Shadow Dallas Phillips refuses to believe her father committed suicide, even though things were tough on his farm and he was deeply in debt. When she hears he'd told a neighbor about an upcoming windfall, she grows suspicious, and her suspicion only deepens when she realizes someone is lurking in the nearby mountains after dark. For help, she turns to Trey Jakes, local police chief—and her former lover. As they begin to investigate, another mystery comes to light. Trey's mother is beginning to remember events from thirty years ago, something shadowy that happened in the mountains, and Dallas's father was there, too. Is what happened that night connected to his "suicide"? As they search for the truth, Trey and Dallas struggle to fight their attraction, but they may not be able to fend off another force—a killer who's more than willing to kill again to make sure old secrets stay buried.
