Small-town park ranger Casey Hobbes has spent her life under
the radar, carefully guarding a secret. "The forest flirt,"
as her best friend calls her, keeps things casual with men.
That way she'll never care enough to be tempted to share the
truth about her past. But when she spots a half-naked
stranger on the lake's edge, Casey can't resist his muscles
or his charm and she's all-in for enjoying both, while
keeping emotion out of it. What could be the danger of one
summer fling?
Professor Zane Buchanan has built his entire career on
exposing the dark realities of cults, but one—the Sunshine
Seekers—remains infuriatingly impossible to crack. Zane's
shocked to discover its sole anonymous survivor is hiding in
his new hometown. It's nearly impossible to concentrate on
work, however, when he's derailed by his attraction to the
beautiful blonde in khaki uniform shorts.
As things between Casey and Zane heat up, she struggles with
keeping her past from him. And Zane's on a quest to expose
the truth, no matter the consequences. Will their growing
emotions finally unseal Casey's big secret? Or will she turn
her back on love to keep the past safely buried?
