Gillian Jones is a thirty-three-year-old probation officer. A few years previous, she survived a car accident that shattered her ankle and her first marriage. Now she’s remarried and walking again and life would be perfect—if only she could get pregnant.

Fortunately, one of the Jackson County commissioners from Bend Brook, Nebraska, hatches a plan that will enable Gillian and her husband, Clint, to afford the next step in fertility treatment: Howard Mehrman wants Gillian to locate the biological parents of his adopted daughter, Caroline. With only one concrete fact to go on—Caroline was left at a Colorado monastery in 1967—Gillian heads for Aspen. Unfortunately, no one at the monastery remembers any such event—or so they say. When a monk goes missing and the woman who is sleeping in the bed reserved for Gillian is murdered, Gillian has second thoughts. She can’t turn back, though, since most of Bend Brook has taken bets on whether she’ll be able to solve the case.

As she uncovers past events that lead to the discovery of Caroline’s true identity, Gillian realizes that sometimes the perfect family might be the one you already have. . .

“Only read if you don’t have prior engagements!!!! I swear my house is a wreck, and nothing was done except little as possible… I absolutely fell madly in love with Ciana Stone’s writings, and can not wait to start the next book on her list.”
–Candid Book Reviews

When Clint Marsh pulls a woman from an overturned semi on a county road in Florida, he expects only to do a good deed then get back on his motorcycle and head home.

It doesn’t quite work out that way. The woman turns out to be Lily Ridenger, his first love, and the one woman who has the ability to turn his thoughts to sin with a single look. She’s in need of a place to stay and he has room to spare. So what if they have unfinished business between them? So what if there are still unresolved feelings? Chances are they’ll hook up, have sex hot enough to start a fire and go their separate ways. At least that’s what Clint thought…

He thought wrong.
