She was the girl behind the headlines Laurel Whitaker has been her name for fifteen years. Anyone hearing her real identity would know who she was, and she’s had enough of cameras, questions and stares. Spencer, Colorado is a great place to remain indistinguishable among the tourists. Unwanted attention comes in the worst possible form—a tough, perceptive, and all too determined lawman. Sheriff Joe Cavanaugh is accustomed to looking out for people—his large loving family, his teenage daughter, anyone in his county who needs him. But the mistrustful young woman staying in the lake house beside his property goes out of her way to avoid his help, and that’s suspicious. Instinct tells him she’s hiding something…and attraction motivates him to uncover her secrets. Will Laurel’s truth be his undoing…or hers? Sweet romance from a USA Today bestselling author. This is a stand alone book.
