Widower Garrison Taggart’s psychic lie-detecting ability failed him when his ex-wife betrayed him. Until he can trust himself again, he’s sticking with a strict no-dating policy—that includes smart and sexy schoolteacher Sara Lopez—but one kiss from Sara makes him want to round up his insecurities once and for all. Sara Lopez left behind a checkered past in Copper River to obtain her teaching degree and a respectable reputation. If only her ex-boyfriend, Hank Brand, would leave her alone so she can focus on the surly but sexy rancher, Garrison Taggart. When a cross-valley rivalry between ranching families places Sara in the crossfire, Garrison must risk his deepest secret and his own life to save the people he cares for the most. But his heroics may cost him everything.

Award-winning and bestselling author Jillian David quickly writes then slowly edits paranormal, suspense and adventure romances. She loves to use medical situations and characters to drive drama in her books. Her favorite cell is the platelet and her least-favorite organ is the pancreas. She fully believes that curse words, when appropriately deployed during surgery, are hemostatic. Which also explains why no book of hers will ever bleed out...
