Blurb:

Nurse practitioner, Dana Kerrigan, finds her steady and comfortably predictable life suddenly turned upside down as the result of a family emergency. With no choice but to take a leave from work, she has to hustle to keep Silence’s favorite pub running and her parents looked after.

When heartbreak brings with it an unexpected opportunity to realize a long-held dream, it presents a new set of problems.

One that involves murder, and the man sent to investigate.

 

As a recent transplant to Silence, sheriff’s detective, Rick Althof, was aiming for less stress and more solitude. Instead, he finds himself frequently drawn to The Kerrigan, a popular pub in town, to enjoy a meal, a beer, and—if lucky—a friendly chat with the owner’s pretty daughter.

Still bearing the invisible scars of past mistakes, he’s determined to keep things friendly, despite a growing attraction.
