Finding Home in the Saddle: Book 4: Jade and John (Birdsong Farms)

Jade Summers, now pushing the big 3-0, oldest of four siblings and with the distinction of being the only girl in the Summers family. She was close with her brothers and loved each one of them. As the only child of Gus and Ethelyn, she was adopted into the family and never made to feel like an outsider. Her brother, Jeremy was her last brother to marry. At the reception she danced with a man that was her friend. They had innocent fun whenever he infrequently came to visit her brother, Jake. Secretly, she had strong feelings for him but felt he had no desire to be more than her friend. She wished things were different but he had a very dangerous job so in her mind, she didn't really want more than his friendship but she couldn't deny her heart. He was darkly handsome, kind and full of good humor. How long would it be that she remain the only unmarried sibling? She was smart with a good sense of humor. Some say she was attractive and had a nice figure. At times it was depressing to be so alone. After a stint in the military with black ops, John Piper had been a private detective now for too long. He was pursuing the proof needed to take down a very crooked and dangerous politician. When John's house was destroyed and his good friend and neighbor was killed, it was just too much. Feeling heavy with guilt for the death of his friend's wife, he vowed to take down the man responsible for hiring the sick heavily trained killer and then take down the politician. He then was getting out of PI work completely. No more bad guys. No more crime. No more deaths. No more hurting and no more sleepless nights. Then he would beg Jake to release him from his promise to stay away from Jake's sister. He had fallen hard for her at Jeremy's wedding but never let her know it. Things just had to work out. That is if he didn't get himself killed.
