When scientist Avery’s life is endangered, her cop ex is assigned to protect her from a killer. Dr. Avery Brown is developing a tool that could help put criminals behind bars, but someone is determined to stop her. When her laboratory is trashed and her house is burned to the ground, the police assign Gareth Wayland—her ex—to protect her. Avery has kept her distance from the gorgeous sergeant for years, but now that they’re forced together, unwanted feelings resurface. She’s never loved anyone the way she did Gareth, but she’s never had her heart broken so badly either. With reawakened attraction simmering between them and a killer drawing closer, will Avery be able to keep herself—and her heart—safe?
