Frankie's Back in Town - 17 (First edition.)

Doesn't take much to start the talk in this town. And no one knows that better than Francesca Raffa. Once the town's rebel and favorite topic of conversation, she's returned home a responsible single mom and respectable executive.

Nothing to whisper about here. That is until police chief Jack Sloan pays her a visit--or three.

Suddenly the rumor mill is spinning with speculation about exactly what is going on between Francesca and Jack.

Some think she's the prime suspect in a criminal investigation. And others...well, they think there's something a little more intimate happening.

If the heated looks Jack sends Francesca's way are any indicator, that second group might be closer to the truth!
