AN UPLIFTING NOVEL WITH ROMANCE, MYSTERY AND SUSPENSE
Ryan's Ruin — First in the Clear Creek Series by T. E. Killian
To say that Ryan Maxwell has woman troubles is an understatement. He has women ruining his life at every turn. His two older sisters are trying to control his life. His energetic niece is too much for him to handle. A local woman wants to marry him. And yet another woman is trying to destroy his business. And all Ryan wants to do is to be left alone, run his café, fish, hunt, and play poker with his bachelor buddies one night a week. Is that too much to ask?
Candy O'Reilly just wants to start a new life away from relatives who are interfering and controlling her whole life. Will a move 350 miles away be the right thing? Will her children be able to adjust from city life to small town life? Will Candy be able to realize her dream of owning a pastry and specialty coffee shop? Will the house she bought be the right one instead of a nightmare?
Two men just released from prison want the money they say is hidden in Candy's house. A spurned woman starts rumors that cause Candy to lose business and even think about moving back to the city.
If these two who are so drastically different come together, can they help each other through a tragedy which threatens them from an unexpected source? How will God work in the lives of these two and their families in Clear Creek?
