Sexy-as-sin Police Chief Mike Flannery knows the new appearance to Hopewell Springs is difficulty. She’s a smoking-hot body and a quick wit . and he’ll become damned if that’s not really a turn-on. But this former NYPD cop and small-town heartthrob has been burned before, and there’s no way he’ll allow that happen again.

New York City Detective Cassie Yates is on the run. A six-month undercover sting in a sleazy club appeared like a textbook arrest-but today there’s popular from her. Armed with fake ID, her K-9 partner, and a police-issued SUV, she flees to a tranquil upstate city where she deals her badge and weapon for a spatula, finally acquiring peacefulness in the desire she tossed aside to follow her family into police.

There is no denying the fire and ice between them. But mainly because the employed assassin closes in, Mike’s previous comes roaring back again and secrets are revealed within an explosion destined to rip them apart-if not really destroy them.
