Sweet, Sweet Jessie

The small and seemingly friendly town of Derby, Kansas is about to hit the boiling point over their high school football team-and their female coach. Jessie VanZant has lived in Derby all of her life and always felt like she belonged and was well loved. Then the threats started. Someone wants her to resign as coach and the longer she refuses the more menacing the threats become. Pierce Winters is intrigued by his new client in his PI enterprise. Jessie is the first woman to spark any sexual interest in him in six long and lonely years. Unraveling her secrets and slowly getting to know her breaks down the walls he's built around his heart. When Pierce discovers the identity of Jessie's tormenter he frantically races against an unforgiving clock to save her life, and his second chance for happiness.
