Broken Beginnings: A Small Town Romance Suspense (Citrus Cove Book 1)

"You’re Next by Clio Evans is a small-town romantic suspense novel simmering with heat and danger. It all started with being in the wrong place at the wrong time—a moment that altered my life forever. Witnessing my neighbor's murder by a masked assailant thrust me back into a town I vowed never to return to: Citrus Cove.

The town itself seemed frozen in time, but its inhabitants had evolved, none more startlingly than Cameron Harlow, my former high school tormentor. Encountering him again was the last thing I wanted. Yet, fate had other plans. Cameron, now bearing a Southern charm that was both tempting and infuriating, harbored dreams of reconciliation. Despite our turbulent history, his allure was undeniable. He even had a nickname for me: sunshine. How could I resist?

As the peril I had been fleeing loomed closer in Citrus Cove, Cameron emerged as my unexpected protector. Someone was stalking me, intent on silencing me forever. Amidst the shards of our fractured past, all we yearned for was a chance at happiness. But the malevolent presence haunting us had different intentions. For Cameron and me to have any hope of a future together, survival was non-negotiable.

Evans crafts a narrative where suspense and romance entwine seamlessly. The chemistry between Cameron and me sizzles on every page, fueled by unresolved emotions and undeniable attraction. His determination to right past wrongs contrasts sharply with the looming threat that shadows us both. The story unfolds against a backdrop of a close-knit community where dark secrets lurk beneath a tranquil surface.

In Cameron, Evans has created a protagonist who is as complex as he is compelling—his charm masking vulnerabilities that draw me closer even as danger escalates. The narrative tension builds relentlessly as we navigate treacherous twists and turns, the stakes escalating with each heartbeat.

Ultimately, You’re Next is a testament to resilience in the face of terror, and to the transformative power of confronting our deepest fears. As the shadows of the past converge with present dangers, Cameron and I must forge a path forward together, if we are to have any hope of outwitting the darkness that threatens to consume us.

Clio Evans delivers a gripping tale that will leave readers breathless, with its blend of heart-pounding suspense and steamy romance. You’re Next is a riveting exploration of love, betrayal, and the enduring strength of the human spirit, set against the backdrop of a town where danger lurks just beneath the surface."
