Her last hope comes in the form of Luke Hanover, a police detective whose stern demeanor matches his undeniable appeal. Luke returned to Lucky Harbor seeking refuge after a major case went sideways in the city. He expected quiet streets and familiar faces. Instead he discovers Ali, a striking brunette drowning in accusations and problems. As Luke helps Ali rebuild her shattered world, his own fractured life begins to heal.
