To choose between justice and love
There’s a burglar on the loose in the beach town of Wallis Point, and undercover detective Lyndsay Fairfax is pursuing every lead. Even the one that takes her straight to the brother of handsome marine veteran John Reilly. John, whose lively restaurant is the heart of the town, is the first person Lyndsay has connected with since her husband’s death. But she can’t tell him who she really is, and she can’t let his brother slide if he’s the culprit. Lyndsay has to figure out how to do the right thing without also losing the man who is so right for her...
“It would’ve been nice to jet you off to someplace warm.”
“I like that no one can see us,” Lyndsay murmured. “We’re in our own world out here, alone.”
“I can’t imagine not living near the ocean,” John replied.
She drew in a breath. “There it is!”
A tiny, faint ray of light appeared on the eastern horizon. And while she held her breath, it grew larger and larger. She could see John clearly in the early-morning light. He had a wide smile on his face.
“Is it always this calm?” she whispered.
“Never.” His voice was low. “This is my first time, at least.”
She turned her chin and caught his gaze directly. For a moment they shared a look, and then with a low groan, he leaned into her.
“I can’t fight it anymore...”
Welcome to a new Wallis Point, New Hampshire, story, set in the fictional seaside town first described in The Long Way Home and The Secret Between Them.
Lyndsay Fairfax is an undercover police officer sent to investigate a series of high-end thefts. Posing as an interior designer working in a congressman’s beach home, she befriends a group of tradesmen and becomes part of their community in hopes of tracking information about the notorious burglary ring.
But along the way, Lyndsay falls in love with John Reilly, a returning marine veteran and protective leader who’s taken responsibility for his family’s restaurant and the welfare of his troubled younger brother.
Lyndsay must keep her cover and follow the evidence wherever it leads her, even if it points to a suspect that will surely bring her personal heartbreak.
Thanks for reading Lyndsay’s story! I hope you enjoy the romance.
All the best,
