Read the prequel companion to the steamy, suspenseful Trouble in Bayou Sabine and see how the sweeping romance first began. Can any secrets really be taken to the grave? After her estranged grandmother's death, thirty-year-old Enza Parker returns to the town where she spent her childhood summers in the hopes of closing the door on her troubling past. Fifteen years ago, Enza's mother disappeared and ripped her family apart—but the truth of her disappearance has remained a mystery. With her best friend Kate in tow, Enza goes back to Bayou Sabine to pay her respects—but she's quickly overwhelmed by her greatest fear: what if she finds her mother there after all these years? And what if her father has hidden the truth from her all this time? A handsome stranger only adds to the mystery and makes her wonder: should she be so quick to bury this part of her past? A spark of attraction is an alluring invitation—to stay in this place that once gave her the freedom she longs for as an adult. But does she dare upend her life and uncover the truth if it means learning everything she believes about her family is a lie?
