When Morgan Yancy, an operative and team leader in a paramilitary group, is ambushed and almost killed, his supervisor is determined to find out who's after the members of his elite squad. Because of worries that this unknown enemy will strike again, Morgan is sent to a remote location and told to lay low. But between a tempting housemate he's determined to protect and a deadly threat waiting in the shadows, keeping under the radar is proving to be his most dangerous mission.
As the part-time police chief of a small West Virginian mountain town, Isabeau "Bo" Maran doesn't need a mysterious man in her life--especially a troublemaker as enticing and secretive as Morgan. She already has her hands full reining in the residents of Hamrickville after a personal dispute goes violently awry.
The harder Bo and Morgan fight the intense heat between them, the closer they become, even though she knows he's hiding from something. But discovering the truth could cost Bo more than she's willing to give...for it might just cost her life.
