Book Description:
Anabel Lee and her father have made a middle-of-the-night move from their former home to a remote hilltop house in Missouri. Anabel is glad that she was able to finish high school before the move, but has resigned herself to the fact that her father's bootlegging business has made them nomads and left her with a life of loneliness. So when a young boy named Jack Jones comes to the door, hungry and looking for work, Anabel eagerly invites him in. And Anabel's father quickly recruits him for his operation. Meanwhile, Jack's older sister is looking for her runaway brother and begs law officer Corbin Appleby to find him. Corbin does so easily, but he also stumbles across the rumrunners-and Anabel, who attracts him immediately. What's an honest lawman to do?

Judy W. (Dorothy Garlock is an awesome writer!...I have read nearly every book she has written..(just waiting to get the rest)...She writes of a "simpler time"...I feel as though I am reading about family members with each of her books...This book is one of a series...She has several series and they stand on their own (although) much more enjoyable if you read them all....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Sue E. (Annabel Lee Donovan is a bootleggers daughter, but she is also a lady. She hopes her father leaves"the business" when they move to a house high on a hill in Henderson, Missouri. She meets Corbin Appleby, who may be an undrcover agent looking for her father, but she is sure he is also someone she could love. As a mob war breaks out, Annabel is caught in the crossfire of passion, betrayal and murder. Even if her dreams fall apart in front of her, she must uncover the truth about her father and test whether love can heal a broken heart.
Colleen H. (A story of America in the Jazz Age. Annabel Lee Donovan, a bootlegger's daughter, is delighted when they move to a "house upon the hill", in Henderson, Missouri. What a touch of irony, to fall in love with the undercover agent who is working a case against her father! Annabel is caught in the crossfire of passion, betrayal, and murder!
Rebecca B. (I really liked the Historical detail that the author expressed throughout this book.
The story of a bootleggers daughter who falls in love with the undercover agent who is out to catch him.
