The Lockwood Light
(2027)(The fourth book in the Lockwood Legacy series)
A novel by Annie Cabot and C C Cabot
Some truths burn everything down. Others light the way home.
Twenty years ago, Dusty Jackson buried her husband and her newborn daughter three weeks apart. She survived the only way she knew how, riding horses too dangerous to break and building walls too high to climb. Now she has finally carved out something like peace at the Rocking L Ranch, working the new vineyard alongside the Lockwood sisters and letting Deputy Buck Miller get closer than any man has in two decades.
Then a young woman steps out of a rental car with Travis Coleman's stubborn jaw and Dusty's own green eyes.
Riley Thornton has driven all the way from Connecticut with a folder of documents and an impossible claim: the grave Dusty has visited every Sunday for twenty years is empty. The baby she mourned never died. She was taken.
As the family digs into the past, the trail of forged papers and paid silences leads to a name they know all too well. Langston Lockwood is dead, but his secrets are not, and the men who helped him bury the truth are still alive, still powerful, and still willing to protect themselves at any cost.
While Kate fights the battle with the law books, Jenny mourns the man she believes she lost at the river's edge, clinging to a napkin sketch and a feeling she can't explain: that if Josh Baxter were truly gone, somehow her heart would know. And Phil Baxter, carrying more secrets than any man should have to hold, watches her grieve and wonders how much longer the truth can stay buried.
Because on the Rocking L, the dead have a way of coming back. Dusty is about to learn that. One day, Jenny might too.
Genre: Sagas
