Let the dead stay dead… Despite a traumatic childhood in Cold Creek, Ohio,
the Lockwood sisters have reunited there for the wedding of youngest sister Tess to the
town’s sheriff. Maid of honor Kate Lockwood is determined to break through best man
Grant Mason’s defences. An anthropologist, Kate makes her living studying the dead. She
is particularly interested in the prehistoric Adena civilization that once called the
area home. A large burial mound sits on Mason family land, and Kate wants permission to
excavate. But Grant refuses and tells Kate to stay away from the mound. Kate respects
Grant’s desire to honor his grandfather’s belief that the dead should not be disturbed.
However, the more she researches the more it becomes clear that Grant is hiding
something. When one of Grant’s friends is killed—and the sheriff is away on his
honeymoon—the couple joins forces to assist the deputy in the investigation. When Kate
comes under attack she is certain it is connected to the burial mound. Grant seems
concerned for Kate’s safety, but despite their explosive attraction she can’t help but
be suspicious of his motives. Can Kate trust the man she’s come to love, or will the
wrong decision be her final act? Views: 43
