About the Small Town Scandals series
Small Town Scandals is a short early Elle Kennedy romantic-suspense duet built around a single small-town murder investigation seen from two different angles. Millionaire's Last Stand follows FBI profiler Jamie Crawford, who arrives to investigate the murder of Teresa Donovan and comes to suspect that the husband already accused, Cole, may be innocent. The Heartbreak Sheriff picks up the same case from the perspective of local sheriff Finn Finnegan and single mother Sarah Connelly, who becomes a suspect herself as the investigation widens.
The two books share one ongoing mystery plot across their separate central romances, making this a tighter, more serial pairing than most of Kennedy's other early category romances.
