This is the second in the Scarlet Falls series, but the first I read/listened too. This was a romance hidden in the pages of an intense suspense book.

Great story
Love this second book in the Scarlet Falls series. The characters are engaging and nicely developed. The subject matter of human trafficking is tough and well done. The villains are scary and kept me on the edge of my seat needing to read more. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. ...more
