Nothing good ever happens after dark.
Those were the words country singer Daleigh McDermott’s father always repeated.
Now her father is dead, and Daleigh fears she’s returned home too late to make things right. As she’s about to flee back to Nashville, she finds a hidden journal belonging to her father. His words hint that his death was no accident.
Small town mechanic Ryan Shields is the only one who seems to believe that Daleigh may be on to something. Her father trusted the man, but Daleigh’s instant attraction to Ryan scares her. She knows her life and career, however dwindling it might be, are back in Nashville and that her time in the sleepy North Carolina town is only temporary.
As Daleigh and Ryan work to unravel the mystery, it becomes obvious that someone wants them dead. They must rely on each other—and on God—if they hope to make it home before the darkness swallows them whole.
Home Before Dark offers a blend of Nicholas Sparks meets Mary Higgins Clark, a mix of charming small town life in North Carolina tangled in a gripping suspense.

"Her dad was gone. She'd broken up with her boyfriend. She had a sister whose favorite hobby was insulting her. Where did she go from here?"
Daleigh McDermott's impressive music career is at a crossroads. Coming home to Hertford, North Carolina for her father's funeral has given her time to think, but her personal decisions suddenly fade into the background when she gets the sense that her father's death was not the accident that everyone thought it was. Turning to an unlikely ally, local mechanic Ryan Shields, with her suspicions, only exaggerates how much she doesn't know about this sleepy little river town. But there is one thing that Daleigh does know for sure; "nothing good ever happens after dark".
Enjoy this fast paced suspense with its healthy doses of romantic chemistry.
