Small towns hide big secrets.

When tourists discover the body of seasoned hiker James Fremont at the bottom of Scarface Mountain Trail, Sheriff Jacob Knight immediately suspects foul play. Fremont died with an engagement ring in his pocket and enough supplies to last two people for several days, yet there’s no evidence of a woman at his abandoned campsite.

Worse — Fremont’s girlfriend, local cougar Denise Langerkamp — won’t admit they were ever a couple.

Denise has already moved on, her next target a scarred young man named Dack Ashkettle.

From the moment he first meets her, Dack is certain he loves Denise, but he’s about to find out — sometimes, loving the wrong woman can be murder.
