Officer William Raymond Trainor, Billy, breathes law and order. All that changes the day he finds a four-year-old child abandoned on a desolate mountain. His dull, ordered existence thrust into a fiery battle of wills and desire when an intriguing, exasperating woman with more secrets than she cares to share arrives at his door. Wanting the same thing he wants. Custody of the child.
It’s a battle he has no intention of losing. A mystery he has every intention of solving. Not only the one surrounding the very hot Anna McFadden. But the leads he follows pointing to a baby selling ring. In his hometown!
Anna Lee McFadden was an abused child of the mountain. She escaped the abuse the only way she knew how. Running away. She’s made a lot of bad choices. The only smart one? Entrusting the wellbeing of her child with her sister back here in Vermin County.
But her sister is dead. Her daughter’s wellbeing vilified. Traded away for greed and money. Like Anna’s had been. Except where Anna had been exploited by a police officer, her daughter had been saved by one. One Anna sees as her enemy. Until one searing hot kiss with the darkly handsome officer stokes all her long-lost dreams into burning desire. And healing love.
Will their newfound love be enough for a second chance? Or will the sins of her past and the greed of the present destroy the future she and Billy so desperately want? Or worse. End it with a bullet.
