Laurel Valley #4
Forgiveness River
Raven O'Hara's perfect life in Laurel Valley is unraveling. Her husband Wyatt's unexplained absences, mysterious receipts, and the secrets in his eyes have her questioning everything she thought she knew about their marriage.
What Raven doesn't know is that Wyatt's work as a DEA agent has forced him into a dangerous undercover operation—one that requires keeping secrets even from the woman he loves. Each lie meant to protect her only pushes her further away.
When a deadly drug ring targets their mountain town and puts Raven directly in harm's way, the truth can no longer stay hidden. With the powerful O'Hara family rallying around them, Raven and Wyatt must find their way back to each other before it's too late.
A breathtaking tale of second chances and rediscovered passion, Forgiveness River reminds us that true love can weather any storm—if we have the courage to fight for it.

About the author
Liliana Hart
273 books3,314 followersLiliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts).
Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller—a dazzling adventure—where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex.
Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America.
Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers.
Enjoy the Adventures!

Very good
I really liked this story. She thought her husband was cheating but he was deep.undercover. he really loved her too. But the operation was really dragging him down. His boss kept telling him he couldn't tell anyone so miscommunication caused the doubt. There's a mystery going on and there is great family dynamics. I haven't read the rest of the story but I really think I will. This is a Harlequin writer from the love inspired line I think and it is good. Can't wait to read more.

This was a good story. I enjoy all of LH books. Clean read and short enough to not get bogged down in the story.

Notes for me
Wyatt works with DEA. Has a large family all around town
Raven - owns a high end boutique
Married for a while.
Wyatt is very secretive, has emotionally shut down and doesn’t always come home. Raven found a receipt in his pocket for a pay by the hour hotel.
He’s deep undercover and it causes marriage issues.

This book kept me in suspense, drugs aren't a joke and ruin and destroy many lives. It's also a love story.
