A celebration becomes a crime scene with a killer hiding in plain sight… With Buckhorn, Montana’s 125th anniversary on the horizon, it’s the job of straight-laced marshal Leroy Baggins to keep the peace during the four-day celebration. But his focus is distracted by the arrival of private security owner TJ Walker to help with the event—she’s clearly someone who doesn’t play by the rules, a loose cannon who pushes him outside his comfort zone. Unlike the marshal, not much flusters a woman like TJ. Having once been a victim of violence, she’s worked hard to become specialized in her field, and in protecting her heart. But this assignment is anything but ordinary. She didn’t expect this sudden attraction to Leroy—and she never could have predicted she’d come face to face with her attacker from years ago. As thousands of revelers descend on the small town, what TJ and Leroy don’t know is that a killer is among them, and that they’re in the crosshairs. Forced to team up together, they’ll have to figure out how to stay alive when anything that can go wrong…does.
