Small and insignificant, almost invisible is a difficult way to live your life. Even if that is your personal sense of self, like Janey. Janey spent her life feeling unnoticed. That is different than invisible, but equally heartbreaking. Janey had some friends, but they didn’t really look at her or what she did with an interest. When Janey came to Cold River, she was interested in the place for a few reasons. First and foremost, her client needed a full-time nurse but preferred to refer to Janey as her companion. Second, Janey comes armed with info from her now deceased grandparents that allude to family in Cole River. Janey wasn’t sure if that was current or history so while tending to her client, she was gathering up any historical details about this ranching town.
Sheriff Zack was also interested in gathering info, this time not about a criminal but the town’s newest, albeit temporary, inhabitant nurse Janey. If he was being honest, he was attracted to Janey. Unfortunately, Zack has long built guards that surround this tough guy’s heart. He wasn’t going to let this pretty nurse bridge that gap.
Small towns are unique. Cold River even more so. It seems as if many, if not all, the people in the founding families have married other people in the town. So, to most, Cold River is practically one big family and insolated community. And with all big families, everyone in is each other’s lives.
Zack’s description of Janey, when pressed, was that she was bothersome. That’s pretty lame, considering what he really felt was explosive. It’s for that very reason the attraction had to be quickly put on a back burner. Zack prided himself on his control. Janey somehow challenged that in spades. Janey, on the other hand, was really beginning to enjoy herself at Zack’s expense. Janey could never have expected that this big, gruff sheriff found her pretty.
Zack is going to figure out that petite, red headed, and fiery Janie is no one’s fool and doesn’t suffer fools lightly. In fact, this little nurse gives as good as she gets. When he realizes that, he doesn’t know how to play his hand with Janey. It is a momentous event for each of them.

He doesn’t believe in love…
Traveling nurse Janie Atwood has come to Cold River to uncover old family secrets and maybe, if she’s lucky, find a new home. That the gorgeous, glowering sheriff next door thinks her caring for his elderly neighbor is a nefarious scheme is a bonus. Having never been anything but a good girl, Janie finds Zack Kittredge’s simmering suspicion an excellent reason to try being a little dangerous instead…
She doesn’t believe in squandering it…
Sheriff Zack Kittredge is okay with being… intense. He takes his loner status as seriously as he takes his responsibilities to protect Cold River. And he thinks cheerful Janie might be a threat to the town. But the more he gets to know her, the more he faces the truth—she’s brighter than sunshine and he’s like a moth to her flame. When Janie suggests he could use a few charm school lessons, he surprises them both by accepting. He doesn’t need help. But it’s clear he might need her…
Because the only thing hotter than the summer sun in the Rockies is the forbidden passion that burns between them…
