Teaching Ms. Riggs

It'll take a special man to teach her to live again.

Benfri "Ben" Riggs has come home to Flatthead Falls, Missouri to heal. After her husband's murder, secrets behind the peaceful, successful life she thought they'd shared emerge to leave her deep in debt, infertile, and afraid for her life. Teaching chemistry in her old hometown is her shout of independence, even though she wants to crawl under her bed in fear when the terrorizing phone calls begin.

Mark Dougstat works the land, makes things grow, and isn't ashamed of the occasional mess his shoes cause. Busy making his farm pay enough to support his niece and nephew, he hasn't found the time or inclination to make the time, to find a good woman. Ben Riggs's humor and compassion change that fast.

But they're going to have a battle on their hands. Ben's stalker won't quit. What is between Ben and Mark grows and they push forward in their relationship, learning more secrets along the way. Before they can settle into life together, the stalker will strike again. Blood will be shed and lives changed forever in the blink of an eye. Can they trust each other enough to get them through?

Thomas needs something to change. The two main women in his life are at odds and if something doesn't give, one of them is going to have to go...and it's not going to be his beautiful wife.

Lela  knows she didn't steal Thomas' mother's bowl...she just wishes her mother-in-law would believe her. Instead, every holiday is a new torture and this Thanksgiving has no reason to be any different.

Things take a wild turn when Thomas, sick to death of the tension, finally demands answers from the extended family on who really took the bowl...only to find a whole different storm of trouble has been brewing.
