Back Cover Copy:

The only thing worse than being a spinster is being a twice-jilted spinster.

At twenty-five, Catherine Morgan is hardly an old maid.  But she’s given up on marriage and instead manages the family’s general store in the small town of Revenge, Ohio.  Bound by a promise to care for her three sisters until they marry, she’ll do anything to keep them safe.  But Sheriff Corbin Hunter stands in her way.  He has evidence that her sister’s fiance is really an infamous bank robber–and the man who murdered his father.  Catherine finds herself torn between saving her sister’s heart and losing hers to the man who jilted her seven years ago.  Will Corbin’s desire for revenge cause him to lose Catherine a second time?

My Review:

I had been anxiously waiting to read Lisa’s Summerside Press book, and I loved it.  I mentored Lisa years ago before she ever sold her first novel.  Now she’s one of my favorite authors.

This story might be my favorite one yet.  The premise of the hope for revenge in their hearts while living in the town of Revenge is powerful.  And Lisa writes enough twists and turns into her plot to keep the reader turning pages.  I especially liked the suspenseful element.

Lisa’s characters pulled me into the story and held me captive through every page.  I highly recommend this wonderful book.
