The Homecoming - Lowcountry Secrets, #1

Two people trying to escape their pasts find each other. But one of them has danger lingering in the shadows. To escape the scandal surrounding her father's murder conviction, Tracey Boyd moved away from her hometown with her young son. When her dad falls ill behind bars, his lawyer, Emmett Craig, reaches out to her. Tracey returns with some trepidation to South Carolina and finds herself being drawn more and more to Emmett's warmth and sincerity.
Emmett is a struggling defense lawyer seeking redemption after he let a man get away with murder. He's unsure why he's feeling led to help a convicted murderer until he meets the man's daughter and grandson. When bad things start to happen Emmett isn't sure if his past mistakes are coming back to haunt him. Or is Tracey's dad's insistence of his wrongful guilty sentence really true? Did someone get away with murder? And are they trying to keep it that way?
