Trusting a cop could open a new door to danger… But what if it’s her only chance at freedom? First-grade teacher Riley Vreeland is terrified. When the attention from a recent acquaintance escalates from creepy to threatening, she flees to Village Green. With its limited employment, housing, and amenities, the tiny town is the last place someone would choose to settle. And hopefully, it’s the last place her stalker will look.
Serving and protecting the people of Village Green is hard-wired into police officer Sam Walker’s DNA. The new teacher’s fearful response to him and his offer to help sets his suspicions on high alert. What is she hiding? He’s determined to find out. After Sam delivers a stray dog to her, Riley softens toward the nosy cop. It’s hard to hate the man who supplied her with her four-footed best friend. And his rapport with her first graders is heartwarming. Riley is tired of looking over her shoulder. Can she trust the small-town superhero with her secret, or will the loyalty she admires in him bring danger to her door?
Award-winning author Nancy Lavo credits both her love for happy endings and a community college fiction-writing course for jump-starting her publication journey. When she’s not writing, which happens more often than it should, Lavo can be found enjoying the beauty of the outdoors, reading cookbooks cover to cover, or grabbing lunch with friends. She married her college sweetheart, and they have three wonderful children and eight delightful grandchildren. She and her husband make their home in the great state of Texas.
Lavo loves happy endings and describes the tone of her books as “Light. Think Hallmark movie with a side of Jesus.” To learn more about The Perfect Getaway, book three in the Lone Star Loves series, visit shop.ironstreammedia.com. †
