About this listen
The new female deputy and a hero with a past face a series of copycat crimes that terrorize their small town.
She came home to be near her aging father.
Trish Franklin, the first female deputy in the county, has returned to Winfield on the Lake Superior shore. She’s worried about her aging father, embittered by a family tragedy. And this is only made worse by Grey Lawson’s return.
Grey’s carelessness was responsible for that tragedy.
He comes home for one reason, to take care of his beloved great aunt who raised him. He can’t believe that he didn’t realize seven years ago that everything he did affected this good woman. But now will his return cause her more trouble?
Trish finds herself drawn to this repentant man.
But is someone seeking revenge on Grey? How can Trish solve this series of near fatal accidents before someone is seriously injured or killed? And sort out her feelings for the man her father hates?
A suspenseful faith-filled love story from a Carol Award–winning author!
Reader review:
“Lyn Cote's Bitter Autumn is an edge of your seat, do not expect to put it down adventure. I am always emotionally spent when I finish her books! Bitter Autumn should serve as a wake up call for anyone who thinks they have a right to dish out vengeance or those who refuse to forgive...The characters are well portrayed and the plot is fascinating. You do not want to miss this book!”

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Wish I knew the series
I am enjoying these books, but although I’ve read several, I do not know the name of the series or what order the books should be in. As far as I can tell, the titles and descriptions do not have this information. The virtual voice is generally better than expected, but its disconcerting to hear the narrator read some dialogue in a soft gentle voice and read the tag “he said harshly.” And mistakes like calling “nine hundred and one” instead of 9-1-1 can be a little jarring. But I’m glad this technology enables more authors get books in audio format.
