Kidnapping in Hope Town — Nicole Helm

They must trust each other

…to save two lives.

Responding to a crime scene, Corporal Gardner Fairhurst is shocked to find his rebellious teenage niece shoplifting. He's been Sammy's guardian ever since her mother -- his sister, Dani -- went missing. But rather than press charges, bakery manager Lia offers Sammy a job. She carries a secret that bonds her with the troubled teen. Now Gard must prioritize Sammy's safety while he and Lia investigate Dani's disappearance. When clues lead them into deadly danger­­ -- and unexpected romance -- will Lia reveal her hidden past, which could make them all a family?
