About this ebook

USA Today bestseller

Book five in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today Bestselling Rose Gardner series! 

There's no denying trouble finds Rose Gardner like a divining rod finds water, especially when Rose finds herself in the middle of a bank robbery. But after the robbers steal her deposit bag—containing a large amount of cash—she soon finds out that thanks to her sister Violet’s financial mismanagement, trouble is threatening her business as well. 

To top it off, Rose’s ex-boyfriend Joe Simmons has moved back to Henryetta to fill the chief deputy sheriff position. Rose’s involvement as a witness is the perfect opportunity for Joe to reinsert himself into her life. But Mason Deveraux, Fenton County Assistant District Attorney and Rose’s new boyfriend, has waited too long for Rose to give her up without a fight. 

Rose’s pregnant best friend, Neely Kate, suggests they find the robbers using Rose’s visions and Neely Kate’s knowledge about everything in town. The women are soon hot on the trail of the stolen money, but Rose is caught off guard when Neely Kate’s snoopiness detects the biggest complication of all: Rose might be expecting a baby of her own.

Ratings and reviews

I love this series!!! If you haven't read this series, start from the beginning and I promise you will enjoy them all. Denise has a way of drawing you into the book and making you feel the emotions of the characters. I feel like I'm going through all of this with Rose. I have debates with myself over what should happen in the book and series. If you read them you can join a discussion group on Facebook and discuss/obsess over the book with all the other dedicated Rose followers.

Another great book. Took me a bit longer to get into this one. But as soon as I was a few chapters in I could not put it down. Rose is getting herself into something serious now. And the bombshell at the end OMG. Can't wait to get into the next book.

Book 5 and another hit for me. I absolutely love this series. These books just draw you in and leave you wanting more. Once you start reading they are hard to put down. Love all the characters and that Rose now has a close network of friends always looking out for her.
