When Special Agent Will
Trent arrives in Grant County, he finds a police department determined
to protect its own and far too many unanswered questions about a
prisoner’s death. He doesn’t understand why Officer Lena Adams is hiding
secrets from him. He doesn’t understand her role in the death of Grant
County’s popular police chief. He doesn’t understand why that man’s
widow, Dr. Sara Linton, needs him now more than ever to help her crack
this case.
While the police force investigates the murder of a
young woman pulled from a frigid lake, Trent investigates the police
force, putting pressure on Adams just when she’s already about to crack.
Caught between two complicated and determined women, trying to
understand Linton’s passionate distrust of Adams, the facts surrounding
Chief Tolliver’s death, and the complexities of this insular town, Trent
will unleash a case filled with explosive secrets—and encounter a thin
blue line that could be murderous if crossed.

Dowryless and desperate,
Tressa Neill applies to the inaugural class of Wyatt Herdsman School in
Barnett, Kansas, in 1888. The school's one-of-a-kind program teaches
young women from the East the skills needed to become a rancher--or the
wife of one. Shy and small for her twenty-two years, Tressa is convinced
she'll never have what it takes to survive Hattie Wyatt's hands-on
instruction in skills such as milking a cow, branding a calf, riding a
horse, and cooking up a mess of grub for hungry ranch hands. But what
other options does she have?
Abel Samms wants nothing to do with the
group of potential brides his neighbor brought to town. He was smitten
with an eastern girl once--and he got his heart broken. But there's
something about quiet Tressa and her bumbling ways that makes him take
notice. When Tressa's life is endangered, will Abel risk his own
life--and his heart--to help this eastern girl?
