Keeping the Peace - Softcover

John and Melanie Giamo think of themselves as an average family, married with three teenage children. Childhood sweethearts, they've lived all their lives in the quiet Vermont village of Clark's Corner, where John is chief of police and Melanie publishes a small local newspaper. Their lives seem routine enough, even mundane. Then rock star Gabriel Strand drives into town, knocking everything off balance with his celebrity swagger. John is mildly annoyed until an attempt on Strand's life leaves an innocent man dead and the young musician feeling vulnerable and alone...and turning to Melanie for comfort. Their mutual attraction could destroy the marriage she always assumed was impervious to any outside threat. The closer Gabriel gets to Melanie, the greater the danger she and her family face. John must use every resource available, as well as his gut intuition, to protect the singer and the people of his town from a murderer, while he also fights to save his marriage. Keeping The Peace is the story of an average family suddenly faced with extraordinary circumstances they could never have imagined. It is the portrait of an exceptional marriage and the strength of the love at its core
