How could the sensible child of Trinity Harbor’s self-proclaimed patriarch took in the guy caught hot-wiring her car? Whether the youngster can be a modern-day Huck Finn or not really, Trinity Harbor is normally within an uproar. But also for Daisy Spencer, guiding the orphaned ten-year-old is easy, a getaway from her very own tragic past. She can ignore the town’s nay-saying. The only real obstacle is normally…that man.

That man may be the boy’s uncle, Walker Ames, a hardcore DC cop who sees his unforeseen nephew as his last chance at redemption. Quickly he’s commuting to the wonderful fishbowl of the town, where everyone assumes he’s seduced Daisy—their finest Sunday-school instructor! But to Walker, Daisy is normally a disconcerting mix of captivating innocence and smart-mouthed enjoyment in a city that’s not as sleepy as it looks.

“Woods has created a wonderfully charming solid of character types in this… Her tale is filled with warmth and humor.”
