The Fallen
Laurel S. Peterson
Clara Montague is having dreams again, the kind that should steer her away from trouble but always lead her to it. She survives a drive-by shooting that takes the life of a cop, but it complicates her new romantic relationship with police Chief Kyle. Her conservative Connecticut town isn't thrilled to have an African American Police Chief or have him dating one of their own. The deeply hidden motives behind the shooting eventually lead Kyle and Clara to New Orleans. Will Clara's visions be enough to keep them safe from Kyle's past?
