Summary
Elliot Ransom isn't living her best life. Moving halfway across the world and leaving behind a community she loves has left Elliot restless. Though Storm River, Virginia, may be beautiful, the river town is also a playground for haughty politicians and wealthy playboys. As a missionary's daughter who's struggling to help pay her sister's medical bills, Elliot feels nearly invisible. Needing a change, she takes a new job with a hot shot private investigator. Little does Elliot know she won't be doing filing and background checks--she'll be in the field. As her new boss begins training her to be his sidekick, she finds herself surprisingly invigorated but also cautious of the man's methods. On her first assignment, she finds evidence that could prove their client, a professional athlete accused of murder, is innocent. The problem is that the real killer may have seen Elliot's face--and now someone is watching her every move. Can Elliot keep this new career a secret from her worry-prone mother? Did she put her family in danger when she took this new job? Learning the art of investigating shouldn't be so dangerous--but this case just might as dicey as the new town she's living in.
