Cornerstone is the first book by Nancy J Farrier I've read, and it happens to be the middle of a series and that would have made more sense if I'd read the first one before. But, the book is understandable on its own, with only a few gaps.
Cinda owns a quilt shop and went to get some thread late at night. While she was there, she finds the store had been burgled. Danny Ortega is the officer who investigates the break-in and finds Cinda knocked unconscious. He's been in love with Cinda since he moved to Driftwood Cove, but she has such bad luck with men that she doesn't trust him.
The rest of the book is about him trying to worm his way into her life and hiding an event in his past that really had no bearing on her opinion of him. In the same vein, he impresses her with his care for the troubled teens he works with and involves her in his work.
It's an easy read, but sometimes the plot drags, and maybe that's just because it wasn't the kind of book I needed at the time.
Four-ish stars.
