Dirty Little Truths: A Novella

Janeane Thorne is an ordinary woman, just trying to adjust to returning to her hometown, Crocus, New Mexico. The altitude -- 7,000 feet above sea level -- is challenging enough without riding herd over the local newspaper staff she "inherited" from her father. To make matters worse, Jimmy Thompson reenters her life for the first time in 20 years and stirs up memories best left buried. But that might be more than either can hope for, considering there's a blackmailer in town. No wonder she's fighting a losing battle with cigarettes.
