Crosshairs by Patricia Bradley

Investigative Services Branch (ISB) ranger Ainsley Beaumont arrives in her hometown of Natchez, Mississippi, to investigate the murder of a three-month-pregnant teenager. While she wishes the visit was under better circumstances, she never imagined that she would become the killer's next target--nor that she'd have to work alongside an old flame.

After he almost killed a child, former FBI sniper Lincoln Steele couldn't bring himself to fire a gun, which had deadly and unforeseen consequences for his best friend. Crushed beneath a load of guilt, Linc is working at Melrose Estate as an interpretive ranger. But as danger closes in on Ainsley during her murder investigation, Linc will have to find the courage to protect her. The only question is, will it be too little, too late?

My review:  Ainsley never thought she'd see her former boyfriend, Lincoln, again.  He blew is when he sided with her father and told her she'd never make it as a singer.  She has never told anyone but her grandmother and aunt why she gave up singing.  Now she is a ranger task with finding killers. Since Lincoln was a former FBI agent he is task with helping Ainsley solve the murder of a teenage girl.  His only problem is that he can't touch a gun.  Ainsley and Lincoln have baggage they have to deal with before they can start to trust each other again.  

I recommend this book to all those who like a good mystery.  There were several surprises along the way that I didn't expect.

I was given this book by Revell Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any say.
