BlueRidge Crossing (Loblolly Book 4)

Tanner Duncan, the mayor of Loblolly, and his fiancée, Dr. Rachel McKenzie, are hours away from announcing their upcoming wedding when Rachel disappears. Tanner is convinced his fiancée’s disappearance is connected to her top-secret Department of Defense grant.

Even though Sheriff Caleb Benton is empathetic, he's steadfast in his decision to wait the mandatory seventy-two hours before opening a missing person’s case. Then he learns Rachel’s grant assistant, the daughter of a local blueberry farmer, has left town under suspicious circumstances––a coincidence too odd to ignore.

Caleb solicits the help of veteran undercover officer Joleen Parker, and within hours of launching an investigation, the two uncover what appears to be a human trafficking drop point. Caleb and Joleen suspect the blueberry farmer may be hiding more than his daughter’s whereabouts.

Then a US Marshal arrives on the scene, and Caleb and Joleen find themselves pulled into a murky world where the obvious is rarely the truth, and you're never more than a split second from death.
