"When Janae Simmons left Kedgewick, VA, ten years ago, she knew she'd never return, but now she has. Nothing has changed, but she's not the same. Determined to carve out a place, she goes to work for local law firm, but nothing goes as planned. Carter Montgomery took the only job he could get as a museum director at the Elliott Museum, knowing he could restart his career while giving his nephew a safe place to grieve. Then an elderly woman claims two of the museum's paintings belong to her family. He needs an attorney to help him navigate the legal quagmire of who owns the paintings, and Janae seems perfect. But when an attorney turns up dead and she finds a painting of her own, life spins into a complex web of challenges. Can they unravel them before the stakes become too high? Janae's not sure, but she is certain that the past is catching up with her and her friends." -- Provided by publisher.
