Police Officer Samuel Briggs has recently moved from New Mexico to Pennsylvania to start a new life after a horrendous tragedy nearly kills him. He's bought an old fixer-upper to keep himself occupied when he's not at work. While walking the beat in his new town, he gets to know the owner and employees of Dixie's Cup, the local diner. He feels a connection to Rey King, the talented cook with a troubled past. As they get to know and trust each other, their secrets come out. However, it turns out some won't stay in the past.
I enjoyed this fast-paced story of two young men who've both had more than their share of adversities. The author made them both very human, fallible, yet still likable. My only quibble is that everyone in town seems to have had something really horrible happen in their pasts, but I know that just ramps up the suspense and potential for more books. This is the first in a series. 342 pages (Kindle edition).
