Hearing her Cries. Small-Town Sheriffs, #2

WHY DID THE MONSTERS ALWAYS COME FOR THE INNOCENT? Former Sheriff Zoey Daviess has moved on from her Texas State Police days. She had one mission now: Uncover her birth family's secrets and reveal the truth about the woman who sold Zoey's siblings for cold, hard cash. Even if that means working closely with her former partner. Sheriff Murdoch Lake. His rugged good looks were the stuff that made women stop and stare-but the moment Murdoch opened his mouth, Zoey remembered exactly why the man had always infuriated her like no other. ZOEY DAVIESS WAS DESTINED FOR FAR MORE THAN LIFE IN LITTLE GARRITY, TEXAS.      -HE, MURDOCH MICHAEL LAKE, HAD BEEN SENT THERE TO ROT.  Fourteen months ago, nearly losing Zoey showed Murdoch the depth of his feelings for the confounding woman.
She owned his heart and soul. But he'd never confess that. The woman has real bite, after all. Zoey was the long-lost sister of a billionaire. She was meant for a different kind of life than what Murdoch could offer. Murdoch vowed to keep his hands off, no matter how she burned him. And always would. But the past harbors more pain, fear, and trauma than Zoey could ever have imagined. With each passing moment, the evil draws closer. Until Zoey might just lose the people she loves most.      HEARING HER CRIES is a 600-page, small-town western romantic thriller that takes place within the wider Finley Creek and PAVAD: FBI and Masterson County universe.
