BEYOND REDEMPTION — Kennedy Shaw

Loni Morgan thought her world ended when she stumbled over her best friend's dead body, but it was only the beginning. Things in Wright City would never be the same for her. Sexy deputy, Nick Fraser, doesn't think the death was nothing but natural causes, until Loni pleads her case about her bestie.
Nick can't decide why he believes Loni's theory about her friend. Maybe it's Loni's beautiful brown eyes or her troubled soul. Either way, he was determined to get to know the pretty elementary school teacher.
Once they join forces, other emotions join the party. Ugly truths, and misplaced loyalty rear their heads and Loni is forced to take a look at the person she'd called friend for many years.
Nick knows all about betrayal due to his ex-wife. He helps Loni weave through the mess and discovers they have something in common besides hot kisses. Redemption. Loni made a horrible mistake many years ago and can't seem to move forward. Nick mistrusted his best friend in the past and need to be forgiven.
Can two tortured souls be redeemed and move forward to recognize the love they share or will they always be beyond redemption?
