The Perfect Getaway - Paperback

by Nancy Lavo (Author)

First-grade teacher Riley Vreeland is terrified. When the attention from a recent acquaintance escalates from creepy to threatening, she flees to Village Green. With its limited employment, housing, and amenities, the tiny town is the last place someone would choose to settle. And hopefully it's the last place her stalker will look.

Serving and protecting the people of Village Green is hard-wired into police officer Sam Walker's DNA. The new teacher's fearful response to him and his offer to help sets his suspicions on high alert. What is she hiding? He's determined to find out.

After Sam delivers a stray dog to her, Riley softens toward the nosy cop. It's hard to hate the man who supplied her with her four-footed best friend. And his rapport with her first graders is heartwarming. Riley is tired of looking over her shoulder. Can she trust the small-town superhero with her secret, or will the loyalty she admires in him bring danger to her door?
