More secrets lurk in the Montana mountains...and the past

PI Samantha Price savors a slow summer at her firm Honor's Edge Investigations, along with Nate Bennet, who recently received his license to join her as an investigator. They make a strong, though still uneasy team. When a new, but familiar client requests help, the case seems like a slam dunk, but of course there are complications. Aly Cartwright works on the Bennet ranch and is engaged to Nate's brother. One clue leads to another, and what starts as a vandalism investigation widens to connect to a recent murder and another nearly two decades old.

Nate, who left home at fifteen, isn't sure he's back for good or ready to make peace with his brothers. Samantha too has made enemies with the Bennets. But when Aly's estranged mother reappears on the heels of increased vandalism, threats and danger, can Samatha and Nate negotiate a truce with the Bennetts long enough to untangle the mysteries and save Aly and each other from a grisly end?
