Hidden Truths — David Horne

Sometimes there's no reason why someone falls in love. Even though the clues to love are subtle, can Branch and Geoff find them and solve the mysteries of the heart? Or will the case remain unsolved? There couldn't be a more unlikely pair. Branch Fouche is a small town sheriff while Geoff Holden is a special FBI field agent. When two campers go missing, they are thrown together to investigate. When Geoff and his team arrive in the village, it quickly becomes clear that the residents aren't too happy about outsiders, even if they are there to help. Though mistrustful of each other at first, Branch and Geoff eventually hit it off, especially when one of their own goes missing too. As the investigation deepens and the two men find themselves drawn into each other's arms, Geoff begins to realize that there's more going on than just a simple missing persons case. Will their relationship survive the secrets and distance between them? Will Branch finally open up and let Geoff into his world? Or are some secrets better kept hidden?
