Shattered (Alaskan Courage, Book 2) by Dani Pettrey

Book Description:
A Thrilling New Romantic Suspense from the Genre's Newest Star

Piper McKenna couldn't be more thrilled that her prodigal brother, Reef, has returned to Yancey, Alaska, after five years. But her happiness is short-lived when Reef appears at her house covered in blood. A fellow snowboarder has been killed--but despite the evidence, Reef swears he's innocent. And Piper believes him.

Deputy Landon Grainger loves the McKennas like family, but he's also sworn to find the truth. Piper is frustrated with his need for facts over faith, but he knows those closest to you have the power to deceive you the most. With his sheriff pushing for a quick conviction, some unexpected leads complicate the investigation, and pursuing the truth may mean risking Landon's career.

With Piper waging her own search, the two head deep into Canada's rugged backcountry--and unexpected complications. Not only does their long friendship seem to be turning into something more, but this dangerous case is becoming deadlier with each step.

Mystery, suspense, romance, humor and some lessons in faith are all jam packed in this enthralling novel by Pettrey! I can't tell you enough how delightful her characters and their lively banter are... Not only that but she kept me guessing as to who the real murderer was through a large chunk of the book.

I think Pettrey may be peaking with each new book but I will have to read Book 3 to know for sure... That shouldn't be too much of a strain.  Okay, so pick this one up, you won't be disappointed!
