Dead of Winter by Rebecca Zanetti 

Dead of Winter by Rebecca Zanetti is the first of a series about four brothers who live in Knife Edge, Alaska.  The brothers were found as young children after an avalanche.  Hank found them and raised them.  Each brother joined the service and have since left and are living back in their home town.  The first book is about Brock Osprey.  He is an ex Navy Seal and has been roped into being the sheriff by the people in town, even though he keeps refusing.  

Ophelia Spilazi is sent to Knife Edge.  She is an FBI agent, who is supposed to find out who murdered Hank.  Her boss has threatened her job if she is not able to find the murderer.  Ophelia was picked up by Brock as he was the only person available.   The town is full of quirky characters (none more quirky than the four brothers:  Ace, Brock, Christian and Damian). Ophelia is sure one of the four brothers killed Hank.  She is determined to find out which one.  Meanwhile, Brock is sure she is the one for him and their chemistry is off the charts.  It is clear that Brock and Olly (Ophelia) are meant for each other as they work together.


Rebecca Zanetti is a prolific writer who writes romance and suspenseful novels. She is well known for her novels about Laurel Snow.  The next book in the series is Thaw of Spring about Christian.  (Yes, I ordered it!)  Dead of Winter by Rebecca Zanetti  is a good read.
