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.
