Until The Ride Stops

Until The Ride Stops
Amie Denman

She won’t stop until she finds the truthCaroline Bennett is not looking for a summer romance. A police officer at Starlight Point amusement park, she’s got more important things to worry about, like solving a cold case involving a girl’s mysterious death thirty years ago. Construction engineer Matt Dunbar is one of the few people who’ll talk about the incident, but even he’s not eager to dig up the past. Matt’s working on a new state-of-the-art roller coaster—a project that could make or break his career—and yet he still finds time for Caroline. With the end of summer approaching, her investigation implicates Matt’s company, and she has to choose: justice or the funny, charming man she’s falling for.

She won’t stop until she finds the truth

Caroline Bennett is not looking for a summer romance. As a police officer at Starlight Point amusement park, she’s got more important things to worry about, like solving a cold case involving a girl’s mysterious death thirty years ago. Construction engineer Matt Dunbar is one of the few people who’ll talk about the incident, but even he’s not eager to dig up the past. Matt’s working on a new state-of-the-art roller coaster—a project that could make or break his career—yet he still finds time for Caroline. As the end of summer approaches, her investigation implicates Matt’s company, and she has to choose: justice or the funny, charming man she’s falling for.

“Thanks for the food and company,” Matt said.

“You’re welcome,” Caroline replied. “Thanks for being my victim in the self-defense class tonight. Virginia said she’d find some extra volunteers for the other nights, so you don’t have to come. Unless you want to.”

Did he want to? Matt hadn’t made a fool of himself over a girl in a long time. There were a few relationships in college, and even though one of them had lasted an entire semester, he was quite sure he hadn’t felt the emotional roller coaster Caroline put him on.

The smart choice would be to cut a wide swath around her.

“I’ll see what my schedule looks like.”

Caroline put a hand on the door lever, but then turned to him and paused, lips slightly parted. Had she not been a police officer with a powerful curiosity about an incident involving his family, he might have leaned forward and kissed her.

But that was a risk he was not ready to take.

Dear Reader (#ua32b0c63-fd2b-5923-8518-3d87215e3c13),

Thank you for visiting my summer resort and amusement park, Starlight Point, as you read Until the Ride Stops. This is the fourth book of Starlight Point Stories, which also includes Under the Boardwalk, Carousel Nights and Meet Me on the Midway. In the first three books, the Hamilton siblings take ownership of Starlight Point and find true love. Readers met Scott Bennett in Meet Me on the Midway, when he and Evie Hamilton have a summer romance. Scott’s younger sister, Caroline, has a roller-coaster affair of her own in Until the Ride Stops as she spends her second summer on the Starlight Point Police Department digging into a cold case that could destroy the man she loves.

I hope you’ll love this book, and also visit me at amiedenman.com (http://www.amiedenman.com), follow me on Twitter at @amiedenman (https://twitter.com/amiedenman) or send me an email at author@amiedenman.com.
