Burned

Description

Sydney Lassiter has the perfect life: glamour, wealth, and all the high-society status to go with it. But something is telling her that she needs to return to the sleepy little town of Stoney Creek, Alabama, where she grew up. She hasn’t been there since her father was killed in a boating accident—or was he murdered? She takes a job as a safety consultant at the local sawmill—the same place where her father worked—and sets out to discover the truth about his death.

In Stoney Creek, you don’t ask the kinds of questions Sydney is asking. There are too many secrets, secrets that someone will do anything to keep hidden. Sydney becomes involved with two very different men: Kendall Fletcher, the celebrated football coach she’s adored since youth, and Sean O’Conner, her hard-nosed boss. Both men seem to have some connection to the death of her father.

The closer Sydney gets to the truth, the more it seems that her quest could destroy not only her but the people and town she has come to love.
