Falling in love with your best friend is hard enough. Being the woman he needs as a single dad is even harder. After a decade of pining for a small town cop who isn't mine, a clandestine drunken marriage with a stranger, and a terrifying incident I'd do anything to forget, the past is finally catching up to me. Someone is plotting against me, and I need Nate now more than ever. But as disarming as his rugged smile can be, I can't seem to let my guard down. Not enough to tell him the truth. Because if he knew...he'd turn his back on me forever. With time running out, I'm quickly learning nothing can keep my secrets buried. And if the person coming after me isn't stopped, it won't just be my heart on the line. I could lose my life.
