Book excerpt: Book One – Cut to the Chase Small Towns have long memories… Anna Ridley thought she outlasted the rumors of her parentage that haunted her all her life. Her salon, Talk of the Town, was a huge success. Then...Horace Crowne, the town's patriarch, died and left her a huge inheritance. Now, it falls to Chase Sloan—an attorney for the estate—to investigate the matter and determine if she's a biological recipient of Horace's fortune. Family secrets. Malicious exes. Brewing attractions. Boiling rivalries. All of it has twisted Anna's life into a tangled mess. Can Chase comb through the clues to find the truth? Or will his constant pressing cause Anna to cut him from her life... and her heart? Book Two – There's the Rub For years, Sheridan (Danni) Yates has felt she had to take on the world alone.

Can Danni and Hunter open up to one another and share the secrets that haunt them? Or will fear destroy their chance at real happiness?
