LEFT BEHIND

Romance Suspense | Romance Small Town

I must be reading lots of works by Sharon Sala. My iPad has her on autocorrect. I have genuinely enjoyed following the stories surrounding the amazing clan Sharon Sala conceived for the town of Jubilee. The town and surrounding mountains are owned and protected by a corporation PCG which stands for Pope, Cauley, and Glass. The corporation runs in the background with only family members aware of its existence. It has made them all wealthy but most importantly safeguarded their family's land, sacred land handed down multiple generations. The families have grown in size and in many tales in this series, we have been entertained by their antics and personalities. All thanks to the creative mind of this author Sharon Sala.   LEFT BEHIND is the story of Wiley Pope, on the police force after serving in the military. Youngest of four brothers, Wiley moved with his mother Shirley onto Pope Mountain after his father was confined to prison. Shirley had been the recipient of a harsh life with her now ex-husband. She took back her maiden name and along with that, her family has thrived in Jubilee.   Wiley meets Linette during a bank robbery. She immediately caught his eye and candidly his interest, not for the first time. Then Wiley meets Ava. It seems that Wiley’s dad had a child that no one in his family knew about but here she was on their doorstep. Ava has been living with her mother who is quite outspoken about her distaste for motherhood. Wiley, Ava, and Linette make for quite an interesting triangle. The story proceeds watching the three adapt to many changes. For Ava, the challenge is to find a safe place with adults she can learn to trust. Lucky for her the Pope clan is not only large in size and number but also in heart. These mountain giants are fiercely loyal, and they carefully enfold their newest family member.   LEFT BEHIND is a graceful snapshot of life on the edge of risks and changes. Lots of challenges facing them but they’ve got love on their side. Once again Sharon Sala flexes her writing muscles to bring us LEFT BEHIND. Through her dialog, we come to care for these folks so willing to open arms to those needing tender care and love. Fans have been on an adventure in this series. Each one stands alone but there’s something warm and fuzzy about reverting old book friends and watching their lives unfold right before our eyes. All part of the enjoyment of reading and thanks to the literary pen of Sharon Sala.

SUMMARY

Everything that was lost will be found again.

Jubilee PD Officer Wiley Pope thinks he's ruined things with Linette Elgin. He hasn't seen or heard from the local nurse since their first date went disastrously wrong. But when Wiley walks in on a bank robbery with Linette as one of the hostages, his training and protective instincts kick into full gear. A heroic bullet to his armor-protected chest is enough for Linette to forgive Wiley's past mistakes and be willing to begin anew.

While his love for Linette grows daily, Wiley finds himself in over his head when a murder investigation is linked to Pope Mountain. If that wasn't enough, a woman from Wiley's father's past abandons her seven-year-old daughter at the police station in an attempted money scheme. But the minute the woman signs over her parental rights, Wiley and Linette welcome the wary little girl into their family and show her what real love looks like.
