Everyone in town knows Thea’s past. Dead mother, missing father…the girl who couldn’t remember. Now she’s returned to our small Texas town to start her life over.She’s handful of a woman, sexy, vibrant, and she gets my blood hot whenever we interact. I shouldn’t be lusting after her at all since I’m the town’s sheriff and I’m sworn to protect her. Worse—she’s my best friend’s little sister so … sister so that whole hands-off policy should be firmly in place.
Unfortunately, it’s not.
See, each time we interact, I fall further under her spell and all those promises to keep my hands off her seem so stupid. But even as we fall into bed, evil is lurking in the shadows ready to strike.
As the killer ramps up the tension, I will have to do everything I can to keep Thea safe from harm, even if it risks my heart.
This is a standalone romantic suspense with a happily ever after and no cliffhangers. This book was originally titled Her Mother’s Killer and includes a new epilogue.

This book keeps you on your toes. I loved it. Thea did not have an easy life. With her parents murdered when she was younger, her ex-husband cheating on her and taking her restaurant in the divorce and then expecting her to move back to run it for him. No wonder she was as tough as she was. Then to have a stalker on top of that, in man. Duncan is so protective of Thea. He falls hard. This book has so much to offer. From suspense and mystery, to hot sexy scenes, to tons of love. It is a hard book to put down.

I enjoyed this book that had a winning combination of romance, mystery,murder,and humor in it.Thea and Duncan were fighting their attraction to each other, while trying to figure out who killed her parents years ago ,as well as, the identity of her current stalker. I liked the small town backdrop and the feeling of family and friendships that are developed in this story. I look forward to reading Chase’s story and Jed’s in the future.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
I only meant to read a few chapters and ended up finishing the book in one sitting.
The very first pages pulled me in with the threat of danger surrounding Thea. I liked that she was smart, strong, and independent even with the mystery of her parents death, a bad marriage, a petty ex, and a series of threats hanging over her head.
Duncan was also a likable character, even with all of the growling he did at other men. I enjoyed the way he and Thea communicated. They also had this intense sexual vibe going on.
This book had a good amount of romance, mystery, and suspense as Duncan and Thea work to figure out who was responsible for killing her parents, and who was stalking her.
I really enjoyed this book. Plus, you get a HEA, and an epilogue! I hope there will be a book for Jed and Gwen, and one for Chase and Fiona. Wishful thinking!!

Perfect mix of romance and suspense! Incredible plot, characters, & all around story! This book is definitely not one to miss, a must read.
I received this book as an arc for my honest opinion.
This was an excellent read! Between the romance and the suspense I was unable to put the book down. While some may view this as a friends to lovers story, this book included so much more. It spoke of small town life, familial obligation, obsession, lost love, and so much more.
