Elsewhere: A Long Lakes Thriller by Antonella L.M. Rivalta

Behind the gates lies a secluded community with secrets to die for . . .
The idyllic gated community of Long Lakes, Tennessee, is the perfect location for Italian-born Valentina Bianco to start over after her painful divorce. It’s also the last place she’d expect to meet a handsome stranger. Undercover FBI agent Jack Erikson doesn’t know what to make of the fiery, outspoken beauty he encounters at the general store. He’s in town to investigate a suspected fraud and can’t afford to get on the wrong side of the locals, so is determined to win Valentina over. Valentina can’t deny the spark between her and Jack, but she’s wary of trusting a man again. She senses there’s more to Jack than his easy-going nature, while he’s at increasing risk of leading on a woman he’s fast developing serious feelings for. Together they will discover that Long Lakes isn’t the quiet refuge Valentina thinks it is. Instead, they’re in danger of exposing a dark underbelly of lies and deceit running deep beneath the entire community that’s far deadlier than fraud.
And whoever is behind those secrets is prepared to kill to keep them quiet . . .
