Morgan Yancy leads an elite paramilitary team until an ambush nearly kills him. His supervisor suspects someone is hunting squad members and orders Morgan to disappear to a remote location. Morgan must stay hidden and watch for threats. He ends up sharing space with Isabeau "Bo" Maran, the part time police chief of a small West Virginia mountain town. Bo has built a stable life with friends, her dog, and modest savings. She doesn't want complications, especially not a secretive man like Morgan who clearly brings danger. Morgan feels drawn to protect Bo while fighting his attraction to her. Bo knows Morgan hides something serious but finds herself pulled toward him despite the risk. Their connection deepens as they resist the heat between them. When someone discovers Morgan's location and blows his cover, Bo faces a choice. Learning Morgan's full truth might cost her everything she values. The threat that followed Morgan could destroy her life or end it entirely.
