Tess of Owl Creek by Meg Anne Brighton. A captivating haunting love story thriller.

Meg Anne Brighton’s most enthralling novel of love, betrayal, and atonement.
From a swirl of dust on an isolated country road in Brier Hill, Ohio begins a love story between Tess McKinnon, a schoolteacher, and Sawyer Rhodes, a rancher.
Tess had been walking for five miles on the isolated country road. She curses when a black SUV speeds by leaving a trail of dust that settles on her like a shroud. And then she did what her mother told her never to do—
"Get in," he said.
Tess noticed a litheness about him when he walked around to the driver’s side to put her bag in the car—and climbed in with ease. He wore a black hat and was dressed in a black jacket and trousers. She guessed he was a Mennonite though she’d never seen a Mennonite driving a car this nice. His tan face and lean body told her that he liked the outdoors and was a working man. He’d said he had a horse farm. She’d noticed his lips right away, they were firm. His nose was straight. There was no doubt about it, he was incredibly good looking. Suddenly, she was aware of her own dust ridden, sweaty body. She scooted toward the door to put distance between them.
Tess didn’t mean to fall in love with a stranger—a man she knows nothing about.
Sawyer Rhodes was not the man she believed him to be---Sawyer Rhodes had a dark past...he was a murderer. And the bastard son of Judge Daniel Stratford, the most prominent man in Brier Hill County.
