Delayed Justice

Sami Parker and Sheriff Makeeta Robertson were once lovers, and their history is complicated by a bombing five years ago. Sami was hurt in the blast, which killed a young woman who was engaged to the sheriff. Sami was questioned as a suspect, but with no evidence to hold her, the sheriff had to let her go. Much of the town concluded she had escaped punishment, and they have treated her as guilty ever since.

Now a suspect has finally been arrested, and the sheriff needs Sami's testimony to secure a conviction. Sami is wary of working with the woman she once loved and unsure whether she can trust her. Still, she wants the man responsible brought to justice and her own name cleared. As they cooperate, old feelings begin to resurface, which adds a new complication to an already tense situation.

Sami is also hiding a secret she has kept for five years. Keeping it hidden is becoming harder, and revealing it could affect how the case turns out. The book contains some sexual content.
