She’s just what he needs to mend his broken heart. Too bad they can’t stand each other. Jordan Thomas is only in Sweet Mountain, Montana to make amends with her brother, Ethan, but when she discovers that town bad guy Carter Pittman is pulling a fast one on the elderly proprietor of Pinecrest Lodge she vows to take action. After all, she is a private investigator and if the lame town sheriff isn’t going to do something she isn’t about to sit by and watch someone else be taken advantage of. She knows all too well how that feels. Sheriff Jake Lincoln has been working long and hard to put away Carter Pittman, but getting the evidence against him requires time and patience. When newbie private investigator Jordan Thomas starts nosing around, he is not happy. It doesn’t help at all that Jordan is sister to his Ranger buddy Ethan. Or that she’s drop dead gorgeous. He’s heard about the trouble between the two of them and knows she’s not to be trusted. Jake’s been burned before so he’s not letting Jordan in. Not to investigate the problem and certainly not with his heart.
