A Thorn Among the Lilies (2015)
“Then they followed the dirt trails leading into the woods that surrounded Bullfrog Creek. Most of these were walking trails, not nearly wide enough for a vehicle to drive down.

Since thinking about what her mother’s reaction would be to her walking in the woods with a strange boy, Carry began to question her own intu...ition. Had she made a terrible mistake agreeing to go on this walk? She really didn’t know anything about Jonathon Mitchell other than that he worked at Raven Lee’s Pizzeria.

“Of course,” he smiled.MoreLess
