Letters from Al — Kathleen Pieper

When Maddy Morris receives an unexpected inheritance she follows her heart instead of her head and returns to Nielson, Nebraska. The town holds more than what she expects including Deputy Alec McKay, her high school sweetheart.

Irritating and intriguing, Alec is eager to renew their relationship but Maddy is cautious. She wants to keep a level head about everything, which isn't easy. When they clean out her Aunt s Victorian home they discover a secret that could lead to a treasure connected to the notorious Chicago gangster, Al Capone.

Alec and the lure of small town living pique her interest almost as much as the treasure. When irregularities in the estate records put her in danger, it also puts her in Alec s arms more than once. What they discover together becomes the key in finding the treasure, and if they really have a future together.
