The Sheriff of Shelter Valley

Who is Beth Allen? And who— Or what—is she running from?

Beth only wishes she knew. Six months ago, she woke up in a shabby Arizona hotel room with no memory of her past. What she did have was a bruised face, $2,000 in cash—and A little boy who called her “Mama”.

What’s her real name? Is she a victim or a criminal? The child’s savior or his kidnapper? Until her memory returns and she can answer those questions, Beth knows she has to hide. She’s chosen Shelter Valley as her sanctuary.

The town welcomed her, as it welcomes all others, and Beth has begun to fashion a new life for herself and her child. But when she falls in love with Greg Richards, her sense of sanctuary is threatened. Because Greg’s the sheriff of Shelter Valley—the one man who could uncover the truth about her past, a truth that might destroy the woman she’s become.

An excellent reading experience!

You’ll be amazed at the twists and turns this story takes. It’s intriguing and spellbinding. . . This story has an extremely original storyline about trusting one another and the binding power of love, and I highly recommend it. It’s more than interesting; it’s amazing.

Another sleepless night until I finished reading Tara Taylor Quinn’s suspenseful story.

I was captivated by this story. While there were two different mysteries in this book, I didn't feel either detracted from the other. This just added to my enjoyment of the book. In my opinion, another great read!
