Craven County Line

In the blink of an eye...

Quinn Sterling-part-time investigator and owner of Sterling Farms-expected the day to go well. Expected all of Craven County to put in an appearance at the much-anticipated, annual Fourth of July celebration on the farm grounds. Expected the temperature would hit hot-enough-to-peel-the-paint-off-a-pickup-truck.

What she did not expect was the appearance of a long-lost uncle and new cousin.

And she certainly never expected the county sheriff to seriously question her childhood friend, deputy Ty Jackson, as a suspect in the murder of his ex-wife Natalie in the next county over. When Ty is carted off mid-celebration by his boss and in front of his eight-year-old son Cole, Quinn realizes that she may be the only one willing to believe in his innocence regardless of damning evidence to the contrary.

With the murder out of her county, Quinn has no contacts to lean on. She has no standing in the investigation. What she can do is make sure Ty has the best defense attorney in the state while she finds a way to prove what her heart knows.

Even if that means crossing every line she's ever drawn for herself in pursuit of the real killer.
