Lawyer Norma Bergen is back at work solving others’ knotty legal problems while her own knotty domestic ones fester. She’s banished husband Will Coigne from home to the disgust of their teenage daughter Laney, but she still has feelings for him—feelings she fights. Her nemesis Misty Bubb pursues the newly separated Will Coigne, but may also have plans for the rich, handsome, bad boy Finn Spenser, recently returned home to start a farm. But all smoldering romantic feelings get doused, along with the smoky remnants of a rustic cottage beside Opequon Creek, as a lifeless body is pulled from the sodden debris. When Sheriff Bud Law’s murder investigation leads him to Norma’s backdoor, she must bring all her aggressive instincts and keen intelligence to bear on finding the true killer before the unthinkable happens.
