Murder and mystery spark unexpected romance in this
captivating new tale from the beloved New York
Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell
On the
surface Shaye Townsend has little in common with Tanner.
He's a hard-edged big city cop come home to the historic
Davis family ranch to settle his uncle's estate. She's
working for an environmental conservancy that acquires and
protects old ranches—and she wants to preserve the Davis
homestead.
When the suspicious death of Tanner's uncle
at his ranch throws the two opposites together, tempers
flare and sparks fly. While they have trouble seeing eye to
eye, Shaye and Tanner agree on one thing: They need to
uncover the truth.
Combining their unique
skills—Shaye's low-key approach and local connections and
Tanner's experience as a homicide detective—the unlikely
pair share long nights in the pursuit of justice. Before
they know it, the friction they generate turns to heat,
igniting a love neither ever expected to find.
They
believe passion this intense cannot last. But when Shaye
becomes a killer's target, Tanner realizes he'd give up
anything to protect her—including his life.
