From Derringer Award winner BV Lawson
In the third installment in the Melungeon Witch short-story series, Sheriff Daniel Praeger's three-year-old son finds a "sleeping man" in the woods. Daniel realizes the man has been murdered - and was himself accused of murdering his own wife a year ago.
Melungeon healer Cephea Collins steps in to help, even as her feelings toward Daniel grow with each passing day, making her doubt her judgment.
With the dead man's family being uncooperative and Daniel's ex-girlfriend turning up the heat, can Daniel keep his son and Cephea safe while sorting out his own conflicted emotions?
