After Midnight — Merline Lovelace

Jessica Blackwell never thought she'd return to the Florida panhandle. But now an incredible career opportunity has brought her back to the town she and her mother fled in disgrace so many years ago. Settling into her new job at Eglin Air Force Base, she's confident that the past is finally behind her--until the sheriff of Walton County shows up at her door....

It's obvious to Sheriff Steve Paxton that several mysterious deaths are inexplicably linked to beautiful, brilliant Jessica. And his investigation becomes more complicated than he ever anticipated when he finds himself falling for his prime suspect. But will their mutual passion reveal the truth--or put them both in danger?
