Harvest of Lies
(2026)(The fourth book in the Love, Lies & Alibis series)
A novel by Judith A Barrett
She came home looking for a fresh start. She found a mountain full of secrets instead.
After losing her teaching job, middle-school art teacher Jessie Hardin returns to Laurel Ridge, Georgia, planning to help her grandmother at Mountain Laurel Mercantile until she figures out her next step. Working alongside family, reconnecting with old friends, especially her childhood friend, now game warden, Clay Winters makes Laurel Ridge feel like home again.
Then a local developer dies after confiding in Jessie about troubling land records.
Suddenly, old legends surrounding Hardin Hill don't seem quite so legendary.
As Jessie follows the clues the man had left behind, she uncovers hidden documents, financial deception, and a decades-old conspiracy that someone will kill to protect.
With the Fall Festival drawing the town together, Jessie and Clay must expose the truth before another life is lost, and before the place Jessie has just rediscovered is changed forever.
