Her reunion is complicated by her father, Douglas Baker, a high-profile criminal attorney whose influence and financial appeals still try to pull her toward his world. As the sheriff’s presence intersects with her plans, looming secrets suggest an in-depth investigation into both candidates.","“Community is the best part of a small town.”  \nEmily continued,“And as sheriff, I suspect you’re in everyone’s business routinely.”Chase reached for his coffee.“Maybe so, but I don’t go looking for trouble, and I keep my mouth closed.”  \nShe shrugged and drizzled a copious amount of syrup from the little glass jar onto her pancakes. “I guess I’ll find out what I need to know when I complete an in-depth exposé on both candidates.”  \nChase froze with his mug held midair.“What do you mean, in-depth exposé?”  \n“Your background, et cetera.”  \nEt cetera.

The last thing he needed was Emily Taylor digging into skeletons he’d long ago buried. Chase swallowed hard. He’d been a kid, barely seventeen, when it happened… He knew that, and yet his gut burned with shame.  \nEmily carefully wiped her mouth with her napkin.“Is that a problem?” She leaned forward with concern in her gaze.“Chase?”  \n“No. Not a problem. Why would it be?” He stared out the window, seeing nothing.  \n“You tell me.”  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTina Radcliffe has been dreaming and scribbling for years.
