Trace Graham spent ten years in prison for defending the woman he didn’t dare love. The town bad boy from the wrong side of the tracks, he didn’t need or want anything good in his life, especially when that good came in the form of a cop. One moment of weakness cost him ten years, and now he plans on making her pay. Lynn Jameson has spent the years atoning for sin. One night of passionate might-have-been and its consequence was enough to teach her to distrust sentiment. As a recently appointed no-nonsense detective dealing with a smuggling ring in her small Alabama hometown, the last thing she needs is Trace showing up back in her life.
