Ready to hit the reset button on life, Emma Kincaid embraces her unexpected inheritance and heads to Hangman's Loss, the only place she's ever experienced happiness. But when her garage goes up in flames and someone breaks in, it soon becomes clear that Emma is the target of something far worse than malicious pranks. To survive, she'll have to trust the local chief of police—an impossible task because Emma's past taught her not to trust men in uniform.
Everyone in Hangman's Loss trusts Bradley Gallagher to protect them; he's the Chief of Police. Everyone that is except prickly newcomer Emmaline Kincaid. But when the attacks on her continue, Brad will do everything in his power to keep her safe, including putting his life on the line.
The race to find the predator forces Brad and Emma to work together. Sparks fly as they butt heads, but a gun aimed at the heart has a way of shaking up priorities. Can they trust one another enough to have a future?
