Plain Obsession

Book excerpt: Violet Jackson believed she no longer had to live in fear. Years have passed since her childhood stalker terrorized her and her anxiety attacks were nothing more than a bad memory. Until her friend is murdered in Violet's apartment. Now the panic is back and her glamorous NYC life crumbles around her. Seeking solace in the one place she always felt safe, Violet returns to the small Amish community of Hunters Ridge, to the solitude and security of her family's country estate. But nowhere is completely safe, and Violet must realize danger lurks in small towns too...Bad boy Theo Cooper is back in Hunters Ridge. He got the discipline he needed in the army and a dose of reality when his dad became sick. Now Theo is home to try and salvage the family lumberyard business-in addition to being a father to a young son. He never expected that Violet would offer to help figure out the accounting problems caused by his father's sudden absence. And he certainly never expected she'd forgive how badly their young love had gone on Prom night. But something is different about Violet...she's changed since high school, she's more reserved, quiet. Scared. But of what-or of who?As weeks pass, it becomes clear Violet's accidents aren't so accidental. Someone is out to hurt the woman he's growing to love, and Theo will risk everything, including his closely guarded heart, to protect her. But will he be in time to save her?
