Heart-pounding suspense meets tender, clean romance in this fast-paced novel by Bestselling authors Jennifer Youngblood and Sandra Poole.Trust no one … love kills …Sydney Lassiter has the perfect life—glamour, wealth, and all the high-society status to go with it. But something is telling her that she needs to return to the sleepy little town of Stoney Creek, Alabama where she grew up. She … Alabama where she grew up. She hasn’t been there since her father was killed in a boating accident—or was he murdered? She takes a job as a safety consultant at the local sawmill—the same place where her father worked—and sets out to discover the truth about his death.
In Stoney Creek, you don’t ask the kinds of questions Sydney is asking. There are too many secrets—secrets that someone will do anything to keep hidden. Sydney becomes involved with two very different men—Kendall Fletcher, the celebrated football coach she’s adored since youth and Sean O’Conner, her hard-nosed boss. Both men seem to have some connection to the death of her father.
The closer Sydney gets to the truth, the more it seems that her quest could destroy not only her but the people and town she has come to love.
“Poignant, suspenseful, and romantic. Beautifully written and filled with unexpected twists and turns. A sleek romantic thriller.”
Deborah Smith, New York Times Bestselling Author of A PLACE TO CALL HOME

This book was so hard to stop reading-never took very long before I was back to it! Every time I thought I had figured out who was behind things going on a new twist came up. I did have some of the plot right but Wow! The ending was a huge surprise! I loved this & can’t wait to read more by the same authors!
Love to read a book that is hard to put down
Good twists to this story that help keep the pages turning. The in-depth characters are likable – even the bad guys. You can’t quite guess what they will do next. A good read!
I really enjoyed reading Burned by Jennifer Youngblood. I found the story moved at a good pace without feeling rushed. There were enough details revealed as I went to allow me to understand what was happening without giving away who was behind it all. I felt the characters were believable and interesting. I felt as though I were actually in the story and setting and kept turning pages to see ‘whodunit’. I found the Christian aspect to be well done. Lessons are given and learned in a way which seems natural and which causes the reader to think of how they handle things in their own life. This was my first book by this author, but it won’t be my last!
This was an excellent page turning book that I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. I’m inspired to read many more by this mother-daughter writing team!

A great read. Kept my interest and kept me guessing to the very end.
Great character interaction and it kept me guessing all the way through it.
A definite pager turner! Enjoyed reading this book.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t put it down & finished it within 2 days. Great story line & great characters. Story was very believable. I’d definitely recommend it if you like a good “make you think” book.
Although I figured out most of the puzzles in the plot, there were enough ambiguities to keep me from ever quite being sure I was right. This made for compelling reading which kept me turning pages.
Kept me involved in everything
This book was so good, stayed up just to finish it!
I enjoyed this, it was hard to put down till I got to the conclusion.
Memorable characters who seem like friends.
