Some kids inherit a family business; Jo Ward inherited a
badge. Once voted Most Likely to End Up in Jail, the town
wild child has become sheriff—hell-bent on uncovering the
truth about her father’s mysterious death. Life is quiet in
rustic River Bend, but Jo longs for something beyond her
small hometown and the painful memories it holds. All that
keeps her sane is the support of her best friends, Melanie
and Zoe.
But when Jo signs up for an expert law enforcement training
seminar, she meets Gill Clausen, whose haunting eyes and
dangerously sexy vibe just may challenge her single-minded
focus. Commitment-phobic Jo can’t deny her attraction to the
arrogant federal agent, and when odd things start happening
around River Bend and danger surrounds her, she realizes
she’ll need his help to discover who’s out to remove her
from River Bend…permanently.
As Jo and Gill work together, it’s clear they make a great
team. But can Jo loosen her grip on the past enough to let
love in and reach for the future?
