From Booklist

Thirteen years after leaving Stillwater, Mississippi, Grace Montgomery finds herself returning. An assistant district attorney in Jackson, Grace comes home for the summer hoping to finally make peace with her past and the fateful night her stepfather disappeared. While most of the town had their suspicions, only Grace and her family really knew what happened that night and exactly where the body is buried. When Kennedy Archer hears that Grace is back, he knows the smart thing to do is to ignore her, much like he did when they were in high school. But somehow Kennedy can't resist sweet yet secretive Grace, even though any relationship between them could end up destroying them both. In the first of a compelling new series set in the small town of Stillwater, Novak expertly mixes her usual superior characterization with a chilling sense of evil as she pairs up a complicated heroine with a dark past with a caring, honorable man who gives her hope for the future.
