Joel Hayden didn’t want to tell Laney about her disturbing family secret until absolutely necessary, but that moment came all too soon. The danger closed in way too fast and little Buddy went missing. Lucas Camp arrived as backup and was caught in the cross fire. Rafe Barker continued taunting Victoria with clues that made no sense.
The Colby Agency was the best…but could they find the truth before someone else died?
Colby Roundup—#50
Harlequin Intrigue
Olivia Westfield (aka Elizabeth Barker) was the oldest and the only one of the three Barker girls who knew she was adopted. She was dead set on finding the truth about Rafe and Clare Barker. Could the man who was her biological father and who had been labeled pure evil actually be innocent? Or was Clare, her mother, the real victim here?
Russell “Russ” St. James had been assigned to watch after Olivia without interfering in her life. But how long would it be before the risk was too great to her for him not to intercede? And when he did step in, would it be too late? Olivia took that choice out of his hands by confronting him. The two dived into an Olympic-size pool of deadly deceptions that threatened to drown all involved in the investigation.
The Barker girls are safe and Rafe’s sentence will be carried out for his heinous deeds. Clare’s name has been cleared. She will require years of counseling, but she wants a relationship with her daughters and they are agreeable to taking things one step at a time. Victoria and Lucas have decided to take retirement a little more seriously.
Sadie and Lyle are the first to marry, with her adopted father escorting her down the aisle. Joel and Laney are making plans for wedding number two. Buddy adores Joel! Olivia has returned to law school. She and Russ will be exchanging vows as soon as she graduates. The sisters are enjoying getting to know each other.
