For two years, State Trooper Kayne Dobrescu has wanted only one thing: to understand why his wife inexplicably killed their children and then herself. Memories haunt his days and lay siege to his nights, leaving him questioning his reasons for living. Jessica Hallstatt became a widow and single mother the night her firefighter husband died in a fiery explosion at an accident scene. While her husband may have died a hero, he left Jessica with deep emotional scars that haven't begun to heal. When Kayne accepted a transfer to the mountain town of Payson, Arizona, he never expected to meet anyone like Jessica. From the moment he pulled her over for speeding, he was drawn in by her whiskey colored eyes and sassy dimple. But she and her children are a forever type package, and he's vowed never to give anyone the power to destroy him again. Yet fate has other ideas, throwing Kayne and Jessica together in a fight against an unknown enemy to save the life of a child—and hopefully one another. Warning: Contains graphic language, explicit sex and one very hot man in uniform.

Sarah Jones’s life is a lie. She thought she married a hero who protected the innocent, but behind closed doors he became her worst nightmare—a monster she and her children could not escape. Officer Nick Astenbeck has loved Sarah for years. Unable to watch her build a life with someone else, he kept his distance after she married his partner, Seth...allowing Sarah to suffer through a hell he should have prevented. When Seth unexpectedly dies, Sarah believes she's finally free. But with the accounts her husband controlled turning up empty, an unexpected baby on the way, and a series of suspicious events, she’s forced to ask for Nick’s help. However Nick's offer of protection comes with something more than Sarah expected. Or wanted. As the threats escalate, placing her and her children’s lives on the line, Sarah knows she must find a way to let go of the past and give Nick the trust he deserves if they’re to survive, and have a chance at happily ever after.
