Tall, lean and headstrong, FBI agent Kilraven lives by his own rules.
And one of those rules includes keeping his hands off Jacobsville's
resident sweetheart, Winnie Sinclair, no matter the temptation. Shy and
innocent, Winnie couldn't handle a man like him -- a merciless man with
a haunted past. And this small town may hold not only the woman he
fights to resist, but the answers to a cold case that is very personal
to Kilraven.... Winnie has had her own share of sorrow and senses
Kilraven's pain. Even though she tries to deny it, the gentle 911
operator feels a connection with the darkly handsome agent. When he
makes the disturbing discovery that her family's unsavory past might
have a bearing on his case, Winnie is determined to help him crack
it...and the ice around his heart. As they combine forces in a dangerous
investigation, the stakes rise ever higher. Winnie's life is on the
line, and she'll need Kilraven more than ever. But if they are to have a
future together, her ruthless Texan will need to confront his past and
risk it all for their love.
