Leland

When the past threatens the future, sometimes the safest place is in the arms of the law…

Petra has always found peace among the rolling hills of Last Call, Virginia, where crystals and meditation keep her centered. But lately, her balance is thrown by two men who couldn’t be more different: her unpredictable boyfriend Kern, and Deputy Leland, the childhood friend who still makes her pulse race.

When Kern’s true nature emerges in a shocking deception, Petra’s carefully cultivated serenity shatters. Suddenly, her quiet life becomes a storm of family secrets and danger. Deputy Leland’s steady presence should be comforting, but it only reminds her of everything she can’t have. After all, a woman with her complicated associations has no business longing for a man who upholds the law.

Yet as the sun sets across Last Call and the threats multiply, Petra finds herself drawn deeper into Leland’s orbit. Behind his badge and professional restraint burns the same boy who once shared her dreams—and maybe a man who could help her rebuild them. But opening her heart means exposing every truth she’s fought to hide, and some secrets are powerful enough to destroy them both.

In Last Call, even the most carefully guarded hearts can’t hide from love…
