USA TODAY bestselling romantic suspense author Colleen Coble and Rick Acker launch their Tupelo Grove series where a crumbling university, stolen artifacts, deep family secrets, and deadly ambitions all stand in the way of a second chance at happiness.

Savannah Webster is trying to find her way forward. She and her husband, Hez, have been separated since tragedy tore them apart and he began numbing his grief and guilt with alcohol. She returned to Tupelo Grove University, which her family helped found over a century ago, to teach history.

When Hez turns up in her classroom asking for a second chance, she rejects the idea immediately. But twenty-four hours later she's under suspicion for murder, and since Hez is the best attorney she knows, she reluctantly asks him for help. They suspect the murder is tied to someone selling off the university's pre-Columbian artifacts, but the secrets go much deeper than they realize.

The only hope they've got is each other, and they're going to have to put their past behind them if they're going to stay alive long enough to uncover all that's hidden.

Colleen Coble and Rick Acker's What We Hide is gripping suspense with closed-door, second-chance romance. They've "forged a seamless partnership with a singular voice" (Charles Martin), "where secrets simmer and unexpected twists leave you guessing until the shocking finale" (Kate Angelo).

"A heart-pounding tale of stolen artifacts and murder . . . the second-chance romance adds dimension to the well-plotted whodunit, which leaves more than a few secrets to be uncovered in the next installment. Readers will be on tenterhooks." —Publishers Weekly

      Bestsellers Coble (Break of Day) and Acker (Guilty Blood) team up for a heart-pounding tale of stolen artifacts and murder. History professor Savannah Webster has struggled to pick up the pieces after her marriage fell apart in the wake of her toddler’s death three years ago. While researching the Willard Treasure, a collection of pre-Columbian artifacts housed in a museum at her Alabama university, Savannah discovers a stack of fake provenance letters and becomes suspicious that someone is trying to steal from the collection. She goes in search of answers from “slimy” university president Ellison Abernathy—only to stumble on his dead body in his office and become a prime suspect in his murder. When Savannah’s soon-to-be ex-husband Hez arrives for a new teaching job, she enlists his help tracking down the killer. Along the way, they draw on their faith to heal the emotional wounds from their daughter’s death and try to resist falling back in love before their divorce is finalized. The second-chance romance adds dimension to the well-plotted whodunit, which leaves more than a few secrets to be uncovered in the next installment. Readers will be on tenterhooks.

      On the muggy Gulf Shore coastline, in the shadow of once wealthy but now shabby Tupelo Grove University, a smuggling ring leaves a trail of murders in its wake. Savannah Webster just wants to publish her book on the pre-Colombian Willard treasure and get tenure, but discovering a dead body and finding that artifacts have gone missing from the history department vault derail her semester. Her quiet life with her favorite dog and the grumpy neighborhood alligator is further disrupted when she becomes the prime suspect in the murders and the thefts. The appearance of Savannah's estranged husband Hezekiah Webster doesn't help, but despite the ghosts of their past, he's the only lawyer she trusts to represent her. Readers will suspect every character during this wild ride but still be surprised by the twist at the end. VERDICT This is an explosive beginning to a new series and a dynamic author partnership between Coble ("Pelican Harbor" series) and practicing lawyer Acker. Will appeal to fans of the legal thrillers of Randy Singer and Robert Whitlow.
