Long Time Gone (Konigsburg Book 4)

A future with the woman of his dreams is within his grasp€¦if the past will stay that way.

Konigsburg, Book 4

Erik Toleffson wasn€t looking to become Chief of Police. He€s got enough trouble trying to rebuild his relationship with his three brothers who, until just recently, ran the other way when he approached. He€s not the bully they grew up with, but bad memories are tough to overcome.

Morgan Barrett is as worn out as a vat full of crushed grape skins. She never planned to run Cedar Creek Winery, but there€s no one else to shoulder the load as her father recovers from an injury. All she needs is a little sleep. Just a five-minute nap in the booth at the Dew Drop Inn€¦if that guy across the bar would stop staring at her as if putting her head down on the table is a crime.

After Morgan yawns in Erik€s face, there€s nowhere to go but up. With time, though, their relationship warms like a perfectly blended Bordeaux. Until the shady mayor digs into Erik€s past and dredges up information that could drive a permanent wedge between him and his brothers€"and sour any chance of a future with Morgan.
