This close, I recognize the scent… Dottie’s fancy French perfume. Poor thing. I’d do the same if I lost my mother. I’d wear her perfume to keep her close, surrounding myself in the comfort of memories. Maybe I’d also distrust anybody who suddenly came into my family, threatening to disrupt the foundation the matriarch built. Denny just needs some time to heal.
I hope I'm wrong, but this is a red flag for me and if this author writers the same way each book it will go along with the first book
