No Way (Spirit Creek #5)

WARNING: Some language might not be suitable for all readers. The villain in this book uses a few cuss words.

Abused for years by her recently deceased husband, Ada Perkins arrives in Spirit Creek, Montana, by mistake. She soon discovers she’s penniless and stranded in the small town with nothing more than several tightly kept secrets and a trunk of personal belongings. Ada accepts the position of housekeeper to the town’s widowed mayor and local business owner, hoping to earn sufficient funds for the onward journey to her original destination. Has fate stepped in to keep Ada in Spirit Creek for a reason?

Overwhelmed with all his responsibilities, Mayor Randy Barker believes Ada could be the answer to his prayers. He thinks he’s solved the problem of finding a housekeeper to care for his motherless children, but he is not convinced Ada Perkins is the woman she claims to be. What is the exhausted, timid lady keeping from him?

Can Ada keep a tight hold on her secrets long enough to earn her stagecoach ticket out of town and continue to escape to a new life? Will the Pinkerton agent Randy hired to investigate the new housekeeper turn up more information on Ada than Randy could ever imagine? If the secrets are revealed, Ada’s and Randy’s lives could be changed forever.
