Scarlet Whispers

TOWN WITHOUT PITY How dare Clayton Cooper set foot back in Scarlet, South Carolina! Why, twenty years ago his worthless daddy had murdered sweet Lainey Sheridan's father and his mama was exposed as a shameless adulteress. Now he brazenly claimed his folk were framed! And he vowed to unearth Scarlet's every guilty secret to prove it .... The self-righteous citizens closed ranks. Lainey Sheridan wavered, torn between eagerness and terror. As a fierce but blameless young tough, Clay had been her childhood idol. Now he made her tremble with desire. Still, she was dangerously enmeshed in Scarlet's web of lies. And if Clay discovered the unspeakable truth, the wrath of a small Southern town might prove deadly.
