River of Mercy

By Paula Scott

Small-town secrets are hard to keep . . .

When she returns to her hometown, Maggie O'Leary's secrets are right where she left them. There's a car in the river with a body inside. An old flame wants her back. And her son, Lane, wishes he could make it all go away.

Lane joins the high school football team as an escape only to discover the head coach, Matthew Shear, a decorated Afghanistan war veteran, could be his uncle. And the life they left unraveling back in San Francisco was his mother's attempt to conceal his real father's identity.

Maggie's reappearance with his brother Jude's son has Matthew weighing his options. How can he establish himself as part of Lane's life when Maggie won't forgive him for what happened nearly twenty years ago?

Lane thinks he's above all this small-town drama, but he's about to be brought down to their level, where people look each other in the eye, secrets explode into truth, and love is worth the fight.
