Bleeding Hearts

Death is always hard to understand and accept, but harder still when death is murder and when murder is done in the name of love. China’s latest mystery takes her down a trail of bleeding hearts. High school football coach Tim Duffy is handsome, charming, and married into a wealthy local family. But now, an anonymous accuser has made shocking allegations of improper behavior-and China Bayles is asked to conduct a discreet investigation. She uncovers a perplexing story of forbidden desire, deception, and questionable circumstances surrounding a young woman's death. And the deeper China digs, the more she fears that the town's beloved coach may be more dangerous than anyone knows. Book #14 in the China Bayles series.
