The Keeper's Promise — Penelope Marzec

Shucker's Point, New Jersey, never had a murder until now. Jack St. Marie, a well-known research scientist is missing. Trooper Bryce Johnson believes the worst of Jack's wife, Evie. In high school, Bryce loved Evie--enough to want to marry her, but that was before he witnessed her phone in a bogus bomb scare and only two months before Jack disappeared, Bryce saw Evie aiming a gun at her husband. Can he believe in her innocence when her husband's body is found in a fishing dredge twenty miles out at sea? Could the most beautiful woman in Shucker's Point be capable of such a heinous crime? He refuses to let his heart guide the investigation until someone shoots at Evie. Then he must protect her. But can he protect his heart?
