      MURDER IN EDEN

      Felled by a cowardly shot to the back, Stanton Youngblood has just enough time before he dies to leave a single clue to his killer’s identity: the word Wayne, scrawled in his own blood.

      That word means everything to his widow. Leigh Youngblood was once Leigh Wayne, but she left her wealthy family behind thirty years ago when she fell in love with Stanton, a betrayal the Waynes have never forgiven. Now she publicly vows to discover which of her siblings thinks money and power are enough to cover up a murder.

      Back in town to find his father’s killer, prodigal son Brody finds his search for justice comes with an unexpected ray of light. He’s loved Talia Champion forever, but when she said she couldn’t marry him, he left town and never looked back. This time it’s Talia who needs him, and it isn’t in him to deny her anything.

      But the killer still has a score to settle, and if that means spilling more blood—so much the better.

      For some people, family is everything.

      They learned early on that nothing on earth matters more than the confidence that comes from knowing you belong—and knowing you are loved.

      But there are others who bear the burden

      of their blood and spend most of their lives putting permanent distance between themselves and the people with whom they share a name.

      I dedicate this book to the people who are wise enough

      to find their tribe among a circle of friends and the places life takes them.

      To the misfits in all of us.

      Stanton Youngblood was running for his life, desperate to elude the man behind him. Moving uphill had afforded him the cover he needed, but now the man was catching up and Stanton was lagging from exhaustion. All he kept thinking about was Leigh, getting home to Leigh.

      Leigh. Oh God, my sweet Leigh. This can’t be happening. I do not want to die.

      Every footstep was an effort now. His side was burning, his legs were shaking, and his lungs felt like they were going to explode. He could actually hear the man crashing through the brush and trees behind him, which meant he was getting closer.

      There was no time to turn and look. He knew who was chasing
