Divorced, single mom, Kennedy Davidson, knew the move from Richmond to Asheville would be a rough one for her twin teenagers. What she didn’t count on was the rocky start for herself. A week into her new job as a federal magistrate, danger comes calling when a mid-level cartel boss lands on her court docket. Suddenly, she has a security detail and federal agents from the whole alphabet soup of agencies knocking on her door to ask questions—one of whom wakes up a part of her she relegated to a dark closet after her divorce. ATF agent Finley Porter’s dimpled smile and gray eyes the color of a turbulent sea remind her she’s more than a busy mom, and that shut off part of herself bursts free of its prison to demand attention—no matter how hard Kennedy resists. Finn never expected to fall for any woman. Not after his disastrous and short marriage a decade ago. When his wife left, unable to handle the stress of his job, he’d vowed to stay single and focus on his career. He loved women—just not relationships. So when Kennedy Davidson stirred feelings he’d spent years avoiding, he held her at a respectful arm’s length. But her sweet, kind nature eroded the walls around his heart. Coupled with her amazing kids, he didn’t stand a chance. Suddenly, the family he never wanted becomes the thing he wants most. But one vengeful cartel boss endangers them all. Can he stop the threat and save the family he doesn’t want to live without?
