The New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men series delivers a romance about a rugged Texas sheriff who must protect the woman who was once his sworn enemy...

Case Lawton comes from a family of criminals. So as the sheriff of Loveless, Texas, he's determined to do everything by the book--until he's called to Aspen Barlow's office after a so-called break-in. The last thing he wants to do is help the woman who cost him custody of his son. But Aspen isn't the heartless lawyer Case remembers, and he starts to question his long-held grudge...

Aspen is scared for her life, and Case is her last hope for protection. But to get him on her side, she'll have to reveal the painful truth from all those years ago. Now, as they work together to track down a dangerous criminal, Case and Aspen learn to trust each other. And as the threats escalate, it becomes clear there's a thin line between love and hate... because there's nothing Case wouldn't do to keep her safe.

He would like nothing to do with her after she took part in having his son taken away in a custody battle a while ago. After a couple mishaps its clear someone is trying to take her out and now Aspen is under the care of Case they can find out who is behind everything and why.

If you like a good mystery then you'll like this book. I loved that there was so much going on with this book to keep me hooked. I loved seeing how everything in this book played out. I loved seeing that attraction that was forming between the two and there was plenty of steam going on between those two! I loved seeing how they worked on solving the case, and just seeing everything play out. Plus that ending! With how it turned out I need to start keeping my eye out for this author. Also it wasn't until I read the authors note apparently this is apart of a whole larger thing along with being the start of a branch off. Going to have to do some research and see what I can get ahold of because I'm curious enough after reading this. Overall great book I really enjoyed it!
