The Truth About Family
Kimberly Van Meter
Harlequin SuperRomance, Dec 2006, $5.50
ISBN: 0373713916 When American Photographic magazine photographer Erin
McNulty left Granite Hills, she vowed never to return.
However, one call forces her home. Her beloved Aunt
Caroline, who was more a mom to her, died in a car crash
in which her father Charlie was apparently driving under
the influence. Mourning the loss of the only person who
cared about her, Erin goes home to bury her aunt and
ignore her dad, hospitalized in a coma. Police officer Colin Barrett, who called her with the
tragic news, stuns Erin further when he claims this was
not an accident, but someone deliberately caused the
crash. He has no motive or suspect, but with her help
they begin to dig into her father's past to determine who
wanted Charlie dead and why. Erin knows you can never come home because everything
changes, but in her case she does not want to come home as
that is a place of pain and sorrow with the exception of
her beloved Aunt Caroline, who is dead. Colin is
attracted from the first meeting with Erin, but knows
unless she comes to grips with her past, he has no chance
with her. The investigation augments a fine contemporary
romance as Erin with the cop she is falling in love with
at her side digs deep to learn THE TRUTH ABOUT FAMILY;
that is her family. Harriet Klausner

SummaryLeaving home wasn't hard for Erin McNulty and she had no
plans to return. Ever. Until she gets a phone call... The
aunt who raised her has been killed in a car accident, and
her father, Charlie, is in critical condition.
Back in her hometown, police officer Colin Barrett informs
her there was no accident--someone was trying to kill her
father. Colin has no idea who--or why. Together, he and
Erin probe Charlie's past for answers. But that's not the
only answer Colin wants. He needs to know whether he and
Erin have any chance at happiness.
For Erin, coming home means learning the truth about
family...and the truth about love.
