To fight for her future, she’ll have to survive her past Registered nurse Katherine Milton thought surviving the death of her husband and becoming a single mother would be the hardest thing she’d ever experience. Until a masked man tackles her in the hospital parking lot and holds a knife to her throat. Officer Cody Hogan has spent years fighting against his family’s bad reputation, turning to a life upholding the law instead of breaking it. When he stumbles upon an attack, he sends the man fleeing and is shocked when a shaken Kathrine melts into his arms for comfort. They’ve never been friends, but the way she fits against him leaves him aching for more. Another attack on Katherine brings Cody back to her aide, causing a torrent of emotions she never thought she’d feel again—for a man she’d always thought off limits but now can’t get off her mind. And as the two work together, a search through her past uncovers more than the attacker’s identity. It propels her back into a nightmare she never wanted to relive.
