Chasing the Truth *Signed Copy*

She came back for her dog. She didn’t expect to be accused of murder.

Maya Sinclair thought her return to Spring Bluff would be a quick in-and-out, grab her dog Duke from her ex, Kyle, and get out before old ghosts caught up with her. But when she stumbles across Kyle’s lifeless body, she finds herself at the center of a murder investigation—and the prime suspect.

The only person willing to help her? Cole Walker, the former high school quarterback and now the town’s golden-boy detective. From the moment they reconnect, the chemistry between them is electric. But trust? That’s another story.

Maya doesn’t believe in love. Not after being abandoned by her mother and scarred by a series of toxic relationships. She’s never experienced a healthy version of forever and she’s not convinced it exists.

However, Cole isn’t easily pushed away. He knows better than to fall for a suspect, but something about Maya makes it impossible to walk away. As danger closes in and the truth unravels, Maya and Cole must decide if they’re willing to risk it all—for answers, for justice, and for a second chance neither of them saw coming.
