Trouble's back in town . . .
Small towns are infamous for harboring secrets, and the sleepy Iowa farming
community of Sweetheart has a doozy. No one wants Zach Crandall to ask
questions about a 17-year old murder, especially when everyone considers
him guilty of the crime.
Some secrets are best left unspoken . . .
Bess Carrey, Sweetheart's beloved bookstore owner spent 17 years convincing
herself that was true. She'd let the only exciting thing to ever happen in
her life escape her when Zach roared out of town amid whispers of scandal.
And now he's back, stirring up old feelings in Bess, and resentment and
fear within the town that has embraced her as one of their own.
Someone wants to keep those secrets silent . . .
Can Zach convince a suspicious town and the fragile-hearted woman he has
always loved that if he's innocent, then one of them is guilty?

(Author also writes as Dana Ransom and Rosalyn West)
The town of Sweetheart, Iowa is in an uproar. It seems Sweetheart's bad boy, Zach Crandall, has returned. The close-knit community hasn't forgiven Zach for something that happened seventeen years ago, something he didn't do. And they're not about to welcome him with open arms. But Zach is back -- with vengeance on his mind and a longing in his heart.
Bookstore owner Bess Carrey loved Zach once. It was a long time ago when she was a naive, awkward teenager trapped under her mother's thumb. A lot has changed since those days. Okay, not so much. She's still pretty naive and even though her mother is dead, she still has power over Bess. She turned her back on Zach once before and it was the hardest thing she ever did in her life. Will she have the strength to do it again? More importantly, does she want to?
In this heartwarming tale of second chances, Nancy Gideon entertains readers with her flair for creating passionate characters. Sweetheart's residents come to life under this gifted author's pen. The sensual undertones of Bess and Zach's relationship, not to mention a first-rate mystery, will keep readers turning pages. It's a pleasure to see this popular historical author turn her attentions to a contemporary setting. She makes the transition seem flawless, proving once again that Nancy Gideon, by any other name or time period, means romance!
"Nancy Gideon's writing shines in her latest offering!
A warm, passionate story sure to touch readers' hearts!"
"You'll fall in love with Let Me Call You Sweetheart!"
"If you've somehow missed Ms. Gideon's historicals, you will
become an instant fan with this book!"
