She’s a first-year teacher in a school where kids are dying because of a new drug._ He’s an undercover cop who’s been sent in to find the dealer._ Years ago, Kyra Radell’s brother died from a drug addiction, so when students in her new school start buying a new street drug called Fire—and dying because of it—she’s determined to help in any way she can. Even if that means putting her own life in danger. Case Lexington, an undercover cop, has been sent in to pose as a high school senior. He wants her to stay safe and mind her own business. The only problem is, she’s not willing to listen to a mere student. Can he protect her and keep his cover intact? More importantly, will he be able to find the drug dealer before any more students—or teachers—die?

She’s forced into witness protection. He’s the island-town sheriff tasked with keeping her alive. When waitress Camryn Hunt witnesses a murder on her way home from work one night, she’s forced into protective custody with handsome small-town sheriff, Holden Parker, as her guard. Despite the bleak circumstances, the gorgeous San Juan Island location and break from her dreary life might be pleasant—except that the sheriff takes his job so very seriously. Holden is determined that no harm come to Camryn, unlike the last time he was tasked with keeping a woman safe. If only Camryn didn’t remind him so much of his other failure—and didn’t intrigue him so thoroughly. Their growing attraction can only complicate things. Especially when the murderers arrive at his door. With the threat to Camryn’s life now in full onslaught, it’s going to take all his wits to keep Camryn alive.
