Publisher's summary

A small-town romantic suspense story from Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author Devney Perry.

Lyla Eden has spent the last few years watching her siblings fall in love. Meanwhile, she’s married to her job. It’s on her hundredth consecutive workday that her sister stages an intervention, kicking Lyla out of her own coffee shop. With nothing else to do, Lyla sets out on her favorite hiking trail.

It’s there that she spots a man washing blood from his hands in a stream. One moment she’s staring at the jagged scar on his face. The next, his hand is around her throat. But by some miracle, he lets her go.

Shaken to her core, Lyla reports the incident to the local police. Two days later, Vance Sutter arrives in town, armed with endless questions and a tarnished badge.

Vance may be ruggedly handsome, but he’s as mysterious as the man he’s hunting. And he’ll be gone from Quincy in a blink. Yet Lyla’s crush is impossible to stop.

No matter how hard Vance tries to ignore it, there’s no denying the chemistry between them. And avoiding Lyla is not an option. After years of chasing dead ends, she’s his only lead to closing the case that haunts his career. So together, they’ll retrace her steps.

To find the scarred man she met beside a crimson river.

Absolute perfection!

Loved lyla and Vance! The passion, the mystery, devney Perry writes characters my soul needs. Chef’s kiss!

Another great story!

I absolutely love this series and the Eden family! Can’t wait for Mateo & Vera’s story!

5 Star Amazing, Suspenseful and Unexpected

Great book-it wasn’t at all what I expected for Lyla’s book, but really great storyline. I knew there was a twist in the mix of the plot w/McCormick and the reason Vance was hunting him…great build up, & good chemistry between Vance/Lyla. Enjoyed the 2nd bonus epilogue that gave us a little closer for McCormick too. Audiobook was great!

Great story

I really enjoyed this one - although not my favorite of the series. I think it would be so much better with a different female narrator.

The good, the bad, the …

The good; it’s a fabulous Eden story with all the feels.
The bad; it’s not long enough.
The ugly or beautiful (???); when I get settled in Quincy, I’ll let you know. Wait…🤔🤭

My favorite of the series

2nd listen for me and Vance is for sure another book boyfriend and Connor really brings Vance to life. Another perfect 10 for Connor Crais! Lucy Rivers is a much better Lyla than she was Elouise! Story is of course another 10!

Another amazing Eden story

What do you get when you have Devney Perry’s writing talent, small town montana, the Eden family and a sprinkle of mystery? An amazing addition to the Eden series! I loved being back here and being with all my fav characters. I don’t want to give anything away but all I have to say is you need to read this!

I have sincerely loved this series and the Edens.

I was so looking forward to Lyla‘s book, because I love her and she definitely deserves the best. Lyla seems a little lost, and I think we can all understand this on a personal level. She’s a great example of obtaining dreams that you have, and then not knowing where to go from there. She just seemed so realistic. Vance is definitely a broken man. He is an absolute mess, and I loved getting to see his layers and see him fall for Lyla in this book. It felt like both characters were kind of shut down or numb at the beginning, so it was just wonderful to see them shed that with each other. The storyline was interesting, and there’s a little twist that I definitely had a feeling about, but may catch readers off guard. I think the characters really made this book. I’m pretty excited about Matteo’s book after that ending. If he doesn’t end up with the person I’m thinking of, then I hope that there’s some spinoff books from this series!

Another awesome book

Devney Perry does not disappoint. Another great Perry book, loved this and can not wait for Vera’s book!!

One of my favorites from the series!

I loved Lyla and Vance! The character complexity and the suspense kept me hooked. Connor Crais is one of my favorite narrators and was perfect as Vance.
