As a former cop turned private investigator, Annie Fitch hopes to never be in the line of fire again, so she’s expanded her business to include installing security systems. She’s thrilled to be hired by Preston Farr, a farmer with a vandalism problem on his family’s historic apple orchard and farm.
Preston’s roots in the community run deep. His family has held the same property in Leesburg, Virginia, since the 1700s. The two get to know each other over the course of the job. When Preston asks her out after the work is done, she accepts. After all, Annie’s on-again, off-again love affair with her childhood best friend, Ford, is currently off. Why should she mope until he decides it’s on again?
What she intended to be a fun, casual romp with Preston turns serious quickly when Annie’s newly installed security cameras record startling footage. Family secrets begin to unravel, echoing over two hundred years of heartache and violence.

My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble
Annie Finch, former cop now PI, is hired by a local farm to install some security cameras after some vandalism takes place. Annie likes jobs of this sort because she’s unlikely to be shot. Because she’s been shot before. A couple of times. And, as you can imagine, it is no fun. When the job is over, the charming Preston Farr asks her out. After a brief hesitation she says yes. Little does she know she’s about to get much more involved than she expected. Much more involved.
Wow. This had a twist I was not expecting. I love Annie and her no nonsense approach to life. I also love that she gets some happy naked time with Preston. She deserves some fun. I wasn’t sure what to think of him at first, but he grew on me over time. The writing, plot, pacing, and characters are awesome and this is a book that I didn’t want to put down. I look forward to seeing what’s next for Annie.
