Dreams Don't Last

More like a nightmare…Diamond Springs sheriff Sharyn Howard is up for reelection and it's tough going for the no-nonsense lady lawman. With her good ol' boy opponent in the lead, a crime spree hits her small North Carolina town. First a popular senator is shot at a local Revolutionary War reenactment. Then an unidentified woman is found dead in a sleazy motel room.Random acts of violence? Sharyn doesn't think so. Especially when secrets link the senator—now engaged to Sharyn's mother—with a murder. Now she's caught between defending him and getting at the truth. Soon Sharyn uncovers a shocking story of betrayal and revenge. But it leads to a showdown with a killer who could make this the final chapter of Sharyn's career…and her life.
