Bad Apple — Barbara Morgenroth

Murder. Music. A new life, if she isn't killed first.

When she finds her neighbor murdered, Neal Marchal knows who did it. The why is the secret the family has been keeping forever. Her limp is the reminder to never reveal the secret.

After rebuilding her life, Neal has everything to live for -- music, performing and a growing affection for the young man who pulled her to safety.

Then her stepbrother comes home. Neal knows Joe's going to finish what he started 8 years ago because she told. But this time Neal vows the outcome will be different.
