Bittersweet Memories
Bittersweet Memories by local author Jannifer Hoffman.
Small time investigator Jace Murdock is suspicious when a local hotel baron seeks him out to locate a woman he claims is his wife's daughter. When Jace discovers he's being tailed, he starts to wonder if the wealthy businessman has an ulterior motive for hiring a disbarred lawyer to do a simple job his own attorney could have handled.
As an elementary teacher LuAnn Barstow has lived a safe, though tormented, existence. Her only dream is that someday she will be reunited with the daughter she'd been forced to give up at birth. LuAnn dares to hope that her wish will come true when a stranger, Jace Murdock, knocks on her door with information that someone is looking for her. Instead of finding her daughter, her sedentary world is suddenly turned upside down, and she ends up fleeing for her life.
After spurning all other women, Jace is surprisingly attracted to LuAnn from the moment they meet. He's certain something is tying them together, but trying to unravel the mystery has put them both in danger. He wants to protect LuAnn and keep her safe, but to do that he need to know what she is hiding from him.
LuAnn has guarded her painful secret for nearly thirteen years. After she allows Jace into her life and into her heart, she discovers he has some secrets of his own. Can she really trust him?
