He went in for a haircut. He came out knowing her son is in more trouble than she realises.
Chuck Layton is the newest investigator at Bluegrass Security, and he's still proving he belongs there. This case is his chance — bigger than anything they've handed him, and his to run.
He didn't expect it to lead to Nita Brown's salon chair.
Nita has raised her son alone since she lost his father, and she has spent every year since telling herself the trouble he finds is the kind boys grow out of. It isn't. And the man in her chair knows exactly how deep it goes.
Telling her means compromising his case. Not telling her means watching it close in on a woman who's already lost enough.
What builds between them while they work it out is the last thing either of them planned — and the closer they get to the truth about her son, the more dangerous it becomes for all three of them.
Some small towns need more security than others. That's how Bluegrass Security came to be.
