Romance Suspense

Seasoned, act-first-ask-questions-later Detective BD Harte is assigned to protect Maggie Sullivan when she's targeted by an escaped serial killer he'd put away a year earlier. Getting up close and personal with the sensuous widow he felt an inappropriate temptation for threatens BD's emotional distance. Attraction quickly flares into an irresistible passion, forcing him to wage a battle of self- control, while memories rip open an old wound, awakening his longing for the life he almost had...and still covets.

After one too many violent taunts shatter her sense of security, single mother Maggie Sullivan invites Detective Harte to conduct his all-night stakeouts from inside her home. When her home is again broken into and she discovers Harte's been investigating her late husband, she struggles with her attraction to him. But the comfort she finds in his arms, his understanding and tenderness, and the passion he awakens triggers yearnings she'd long ago given up on...and still desires.

Can two wounded hearts come together as one in time... Or will the killer seeking a powerful key to nuclear weaponry ensure they never have the chance?
