Smoke and mirrors…
Someone’s after Kris Donaldson. and they don’t just want her hurt–they want her ruined.  First, an arsonist tries to destroy her cabin, and evidence points to Kris as possible insurance fraud. Then an injured deputy is found at her place…with ballistics proof that he was shot with her rifle.  Even Trace Randall, the arson investigator who’s helped her before, seems to doubt her now.  She has to prove her innocence, but how? Her reputation, her life–and her chance for happiness with Trace–are all on the line.

 

A review…..

“Kris just wanted to start over when she came to see about the inheritance in Montana from an aunt she didn’t even know she had. Her first thought was to do a bit of repair work on the ranch and sell it. But the scenery and the prospect of using her abilities and skill to run a much-needed shelter on the property was more appealing, at least in the short term. It didn’t hurt that, Trace, the rancher next door was drop-dead gorgeous and his sister a quick friend. But Kris has a past and it refuses to stay in the past. When danger haunts not only Kris, but her animals will she be able to find out the truth about what is happening before she loses everything she’s gained—a home, friendships, a heart ready to love again…and her faith?  A romance mystery that draws us into characters we’d like to know and a world that makes us want to vacation in Big Sky country. A perfect read for a cold Winter’s day. Reviewer Carolyn R Scheidies, at    http://www.idealinhope.com/bookreviews/fiction.html

“Serenity. That’s what Jack Matthews wants, and what he seeks in Lost Falls, Montana. A quiet retreat is just what Jack and his orphaned nephew, Max, need—especially with gentle, beautiful Erin Cole as their host. But when sirens in the night leave Max screaming, Jack’s faced with the harsh truth. They’re not safe—not him, not Max and especially not Erin. What is she hiding? What does the shadowy figure stalking her want? And how much will Jack have to risk to keep her safe?”

And from longandshortreviews.com:   “An intriguing suspense, Final Exposure shows two sincerely good people who feel far from God, the source of strength that has sustained them through the years. Traumatic events have made both question their faith.  Now, Erin Cole and jack Matthews are each facing overwhelming problems and fears. Roxanne Rustand weaves a captivating tapestry of a tale–a story about life in the off-season tourist town of Lost Falls, Montana. With secondary characters like eight-something Isabelle, simple-minded Ollie, mysterious Barry hubble and adorable Charlie, along with greedy and murderous antagonists to interact with, Erin, Jack and little Max struggle to get their lives back on track.

A dark, ominous thread  in the tapestry emerges from time to tim, stretching from Texas to Lost Falls, blurring the strong, vibrant thread of jack’s efforts to help his little nephew back to normalcy and to clear his own name.  Another black, frightening thread stretches from Denver to Lost Falls, and is never far from the bright and beautiful threads of Erin’s life.   This one creates adrenaline pumping moments for the reader.

Final Exposure is an inspiring story of ordinary people doing extra-ordinary things to control wrongs as their lives entwine and love, on many levels, works its magic. This book lifts the spirits, especially if a dark thread or two has wiggled into the tapestry of your own life.”   longandshortreviews.com
