CHOKEHOLD
Book I of The HIGH SHOALS Series
Grudges Hotter Than A Heat-wave
HURRICANES COME AND GO IN SHOALS – a deceptively sleepy town in the Florida Panhandle where sweet tea and innocence reign in this first novel of The HIGH SHOALS Series by author E. M. Phillips.
Secrets have a way of washing up once flood waters recede - secrets like what kept Blythe and Nathan apart for eight years. The moccasins in their murky waters have been coiled up, waiting to strike when they finally see one another again in time for Nathan’s father’s funeral.
Just as a potentially catastrophic storm is heading for Gulf County, revelations bring to light the hold they still have over one other. Now everything they buried is resurfacing and Blythe and Nathan must come to terms with the way things ended, even if it means paying for crimes they didn’t commit.
Like holy scriptures woven into their skin, this hurricane will make them remember the way they used to be when all they wanted was to be the prayer on each other’s lips...
Some sins are too good to be forgiven.
