When both your physical safety and your heart are threatened, which one do you protect?
Belle Cosgrove is incredibly frustrated. Four years after the death of her young husband, she’s finally managed to box up her grief and guilt and move on, having convinced herself she neither wants nor deserves another relationship. But now when her massage clinic is thriving, she’s just adopted a dog, and the future is looking bright, her newfound peace is threatened by disturbing notes and gifts from an anonymous stalker.
Huckleberry Ridge police corporal, Woody Bannock, has decided it’s much safer to maintain the status quo as a bachelor than risk adding to the long list of women he’s managed to disappoint in the past—including his own mother. He’s got a job he loves, a place of his own and a dog who adores him. But when he’s asked to check into Belle’s stalking allegations, he’s thrown off kilter by his powerful attraction to the charming and vulnerable red-head.
Despite the magnetism between them, the reasons for not becoming entangled are much stronger, and both shy away from any commitment. Even after Belle’s stalker escalates, she hesitates to involve Woody for fear of further wounding her damaged heart.
When her safety is truly threatened, she has no choice but to trust him … but is it too late?
