Redneck Ranch (Stoneybrook Mysteries, #1)

After Harley Harper is stood up on her wedding day in Manhattan, she points her car west in search of a silver lining. When she lands in Stoneybrook, Oregon, she buys the Redneck Ranch, where she finds comfort among her menagerie of misfit animals. Now as a ranch owner, Harley tries to settle into her new normal. But a dead body in her dilapidated barn, a wildfire bearing down on Stoneybrook, and the arrival of her ex-betrothed, keep Harley's life in upheaval. And Stone County's handsome sheriff has her feeling anything but normal.

Wyatt Stone, along with his autistic cousin, Deputy Derrick Stone, have managed to keep Stoneybrook free of major crime for six years. Then a body is left in the Redneck Ranch's old barn. A message carved into the victims torso, indicates a serial killer has returned to their town. The investigation is complicated by a wildfire threatening Stone County. Wyatt's distractions run deeper than an unsolved murder, fast moving fire, and a lost girl. The new owner of the Redneck Ranch is proving to be a pain in his ass, and he can't stop thinking about her.
