Jill Nelson never disappoints! Evidence of Murder is a great read, one of the few shorter romantic suspsense books I have read that the villan isn't easily identifyable in the first third of the book.

Decades-old photos of a multiple homicide are found in Samantha Reid's newly refurbished dry cleaning store. Horrified, she takes them to the police and later discovers that the last surviving memeber of the family, houseboat entrepreneur Ryan Davidson, wants to know who killed his family and why. The mystery plot is top-notch and the romance moves along slowly, since Ryan's given up on God but Samantha hasn't. The concept of "why bad things happen to good people" comes up again--as it does in many Christian books--and is handled well.
