Before Buckhorn / by Daniels, B. J.;
Small towns can house big secrets... Former cop Jasper Cole has come home to Buckhorn to ranch--and to find some peace. But there's one part of his past he doesn't object to facing again. Darby Fulton acts like she's forgotten the searing one-night stand they shared in college, but to Jasper, she's as fascinating and tempting as ever. And when she's drawn into an unsettling local mystery, he follows, despite his misgivings. Bad things have been happening to Buckhorn residents, and Darby's sure it has something to do with a new store called Gossip. As a newspaper publisher, she can't ignore the story, any more than she can ignore her deep attraction to Jasper. And as their investigation reignites that spark, it also pulls them both into a twisted scheme of revenge, where secrets are a deadly weapon...

The fact of a body [sound recording] : a murder and a memoir / by Marzano-Lesnevich, Alexandria,author,narrator.; Macmillan Audio (Firm),publisher.;
Read by the author."Alexandria Marzano-Lesnevich begins a summer job at a law firm in Louisiana, working to help defend men accused of murder, she thinks her position is clear. The child of two lawyers, she is staunchly anti-death penalty. But the moment convicted murderer Ricky Langley's face flashes on the screen as she reviews old tapes -- the moment she hears him speak of his crimes -- she is overcome with the feeling of wanting him to die. Shocked by her reaction, she digs deeper and deeper into the case. Despite their vastly different circumstances, something in his story is unsettlingly, uncannily familiar. Crime, even the darkest and most unsayable acts, can happen to any one of us. As Alexandria pores over the facts of the murder, she finds herself thrust into the complicated narrative of Ricky's childhood"--
