Scars of Silver Creek. Some Wounds Run Deeper Than War (en Inglés) - Gwen Carter

He came home to heal. Someone came home to finish the job.

Captain Alan Brenner walked off a Greyhound in Silver Creek, Montana, with a Bronze Star, a prosthetic leg, and ghosts he couldn't outrun. He thought the war was over. Then he found a folded note at the bottom of his duffel that no one had packed.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE COME BACK.

The roadside bomb that took his leg in Helmand was supposed to be just another casualty of war. The dead cattle in his father's south pasture say otherwise. So does the survey line drawn straight through his grandfather's house. Someone wanted Alan dead nine years ago. Someone closer wants him dead now.

She buried her father in his uniform. She pinned his star on her own shirt. She has not said Alan Brenner's name out loud in nine years.

Sheriff Lynn Hollis was twenty-one when she gave back his ring on a porch in summer and watched him walk into a war she begged him not to fight. Now she's the law in the only county he has ever called home, and the badge on her chest demands she protect the one man who ever broke her heart.

As the threats escalate from poisoned cattle to a sniper's bullet to a betrayal rooted in military secrets and stolen land, Alan and Lynn must dig into a conspiracy nine years deep - and someone they love is counting on it staying buried.

The closer they get to the truth, the harder it gets to ignore the fire that never died between them.

But trust is a fragile thing. And in Silver Creek, the man who has been killing them slowly is already inside the gate.

Scars of Silver Creek is a slow-burn, second-chance romantic suspense novel set against the wide skies of Montana ranch country. Perfect for readers of Kat Martin's The Brodies of Alaska, B.J. Daniels's Cahill Ranch series, Maisey Yates's Gold Valley novels, and Robyn Carr's Virgin River - with the haunted-hero intensity of a Sandra Brown thriller and the literary voice of a modern western.
