New Beginnings #2

by Christina Freeburn

When a client's privacy is threatened by a Hatfield and McCoy battle erupting, skip-tracer Danita Ballinger heads to Mourning, WV, hoping to settle the feud before it starts. Danita's rescuing is seen as interference and improper by Pastor Riley Coole, the target for the mining company's strong-arm tactics.

Pastor Riley Coole isn't pleased by the person his uncle hired to 'help' the town. The outspoken, brazen young woman isn't who they need. Riley prefers the calm approach to dealing with the mining company not a fight fire-with-fire plan.

When a murderer targets the key players in the mining war, and retaliation is set into motion, Danita and Riley must put aside their private battle to protect the people relying on them for safety. Will seeing each other in a new light put them on a path of acceptance and true love, or create a further divide ripping apart the town and their own hearts?
