Shadows of Deception
Laurel Glen Series Book Four

When her husband unexpectedly dies, Charlotte Jordan's privileged life comes crashing down. Their always-healthy investments and savings accounts inexplicably have zero balances. Loans against the family farm—for hundreds of thousands of dollars—have appeared. Amid such financial disaster, Charlotte is forced to admit the obvious, gut-wrenching truth—her thirty-year marriage has been a sham.
But Charlotte is no quitter. She struggles to keep her farm by changing a hobby—training and boarding horses—into a business. Just as she thinks she’s making headway; however, strange events begin to disrupt her life. Shadowy figures prowl her property at night. Unknown callers remind her of how easily a water-well can become fouled or a barn catch fire.
Then the threats become concrete. Charlotte narrowly eludes a hit-and-run at a local farm store, and the very charming George Trenton comes to her aid. He immediately takes charge: assisting her to safety, checking for injuries, and alerting the authorities. But the comfort of leaning on a strong man is counter-balanced by Charlotte’s recent betrayal. There is that spark of attraction, but Charlotte isn’t ready to trust any man.
George Trenton, owner of Laurel Glen Motorsports Park and a successful government security contractor, is attracted to Charlotte, but he suspects he’s too old for the vibrant beauty. When he’s drawn into the whirlwind of danger surrounding Charlotte, he realizes his compulsion to safeguard Charlotte goes way beyond mere friendship. Could this be a second chance for both of them?
