Cassidy Hoake was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She witnessed a ghastly murder and now, she runs for her life. Stalked by a relentless mob enforcer, she cowers in a small town under a false identity. Every shadow suggests a menace, every stranger a potential betrayer. Even Officer Clay Cestra, with his piercing gaze and tempting allure, raises her suspicions. Beneath Clay's badge beats the heart of a protector, driven by instincts honed from his most horrific cases. Cassidy's aloof behavior ignites a fire within him, driving him to shield her from the danger he senses closing in. Remembering her mother's adage--Better the devil you know than the devil you don't--Cassidy grapples with the options of fleeing once again or seeking refuge in Clay's embrace. The mobster on her trail is a known terror. Clay represents a frightening unknown--a chance at love. Her life is already on the line. Dare she gamble with her heart?
