After 10 years of globe-trotting, burned-out ex-CIA operative Donovan Lassiter was ready to return home. But Donovan needed solitude to wrestle with his demons. His cabin in the wooded hills of Maryland was the perfect place for a little soul-searching—or so he thought. Donovan's peaceful existence was shattered when beautiful widow Andi Brady and her children moved next door. Andi needed help to prove her late husband's innocence and knew Donovan was the only man for the job. But could he focus on the case when he was in danger—of losing his heart?
