Quiet One (the Guiness Gang)

This is the third book in the Guiness Gang series. Cagney Guiness was a homicide detective until he was forced to shoot and kill a fourteen-year-old kid. Now he has returned to his hometown of Maddensfield for peace and quiet. He is the town sheriff, but nothing ever happens in Maddensfield. At least that was true until someone is murdered and his prime suspect is a beautiful woman who intrigues him far too much. Marina's childhood was filled with fear and nightmares. Now she has moved from New York to hopefully find peace in the quiet town of Maddensfield. Unfortunately, not only have the nightmares followed her, but she is a suspect in a murder investigation. Cagney finds himself attracted to Marina and wanting to protect her. If Marina is not the murderer than she could be in danger, and the best way to protect her is to stay with her 24-7. If Marina is guilty than the best way to find out is to watch her. Cagney knows that as the sheriff he should keep his distance from Marina, but it becomes more difficult as the time goes by.Cagney and Marina both have things in their past that they must overcome if they are to have a future together. They also have to get through the current crisis. This book gives us a wonderful romance story with Cagney and Marina. Even more than that it gives us a very intriguing mystery. I enjoyed reading about the quiet brother in the Guiness family and cannot wait for the next book in the series.
