Carrie Bennett has returned to Sugar Mountain-and she hasn't come back to make peace.
Years ago, Carrie was deeply in love with Joe Smaltz. But Joe never proposed, and Carrie never forgot the humiliation of being left behind.
Now she's back, and Joe is married to Hannah, a nurse who has built a life with the man Carrie once believed would be hers.
Carrie has a plan.
She hires Amy, an ambitious woman in a motorized wheelchair, to run her real estate office while she quietly puts her plans into motion. Then she sells the Ford cabin and surrounding property to Antoine, her former husband-a man with powerful connections and a dangerous past.
But the sale is only the beginning.
As Carrie begins pulling the strings, Hannah finds herself caught in the middle of a conflict she never saw coming. Old loyalties are tested, secrets come to light, and Carrie makes it clear that she will not stop until she gets what she believes she was denied.
Then someone discovers the truth about the sale.
And suddenly, the shadows over Sugar Mountain are no longer just shadows.
In a story of deception, betrayal, and revenge, Carrie Bennett's return sets off a chain of events that threatens marriages, friendships, and lives.
Shadows over the Blue Ridge Mountains is a gripping novella where the past refuses to stay buried-and revenge can be far more dangerous than love
