Counting Stars: Suspense, Second Chances, Small-Town Romance-and a Sky Full of Stars

By Melissa Roos

A family legacy. A decades-old heartbreak. And murder.

Reese Blackwood returns to Blackwood Valley expecting nothing more than an awkward family reunion and a trip down memory lane. Instead, tragedy strikes-and Reese suddenly finds herself caught in a dangerous web of deception surrounding her family.

The deeper Reese digs for answers, the more she realizes someone is willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. And if she isn't careful, she could be the next target.

The one person determined to keep her safe is Nick Andrews, the man she loved-and the last person Reese wants to trust. Nick has spent years protecting the town they once shared, but seeing Reese again brings old feelings rushing back. Now, keeping her alive means confronting a past neither of them has been able to forget.

As the threats escalate and long-hidden truths come to light, Reese must uncover who is behind the danger before her family legacy costs her everything.

Because in Blackwood Valley, the past has a way of catching up with you-sometimes finding your way home means discovering what-and who-is truly worth fighting for.

Danger, deception, and mystery-with a sweet romance waiting beneath it all.
