Fiction Spotlight of the Week: You Shouldn't Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose

When Grace Evans escapes her hectic New York life for a secluded ranch in Wyoming, she expects a peaceful getaway, not a mystery. Her handsome host, Calvin Wells, seems charming enough, but poor cell service, a missing woman, and unsettling secrets leave Grace questioning everything. As attraction turns to suspicion and obsession, the two become entangled in a dangerous game of deception where neither may be telling the truth. In this twist-filled psychological thriller, trusting a stranger could be the biggest mistake of all.
