Barbara Howard

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. "When a foreign correspondent returns to her hometown, she finds herself caught between a rising politician's charm and her ex-lover's dangerous truth." When globe-trotting journalist Elizabeth Nelson reluctantly returns to her hometown of Sweetwater Springs, Ohio for her best friend's wedding, she expects to confront old insecurities and painful memories. Instead, she stumbles upon suspicious activity surrounding a controversial concrete plant project that threatens to destroy the town's historic district. As Elizabeth investigates, she finds herself caught between two men: Noah Montgomery, the charismatic local politician she once loved who now champions the development project, and Vincent Rivera, her passionate photojournalist partner who follows her home after they flee a military coup in Venezuela. Torn between her growing feelings for Noah and the pull of her career, Elizabeth must race against time to uncover the truth. But with her ex-partner, Vincent, back in the picture, can she choose between duty, passion, and the truth? In the small town of Sweetwater Springs, Ohio, where African American, Afro-Latina, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Caucasian residents have built deep community bonds across generations, Elizabeth must navigate not only her professional ambitions but also the complexities of interracial romance and long-buried environmental threats that could tear their tight-knit community apart.
