Working with my close friends in our small hometown's police department has always been my game plan. Focusing on my job with Piper Falls PD and moving up the ranks quickly was my goal, and I've reached it.

Falling in love was never on my agenda. Until Krissy drops into my life.

She's beautiful. Magnetic.

And aloof as anyone I've ever seen. She puts up a front that's impossible to penetrate and runs when people get too close, but I'm not one to give up easily.

When Krissy's dark past comes pounding at her door like a pack of rabid raccoons, my protective instincts flare hotter than the Texas sun. If anyone wants to get close to her, they'll have to get through me first, and I'm a force to be reckoned with.

I took an oath to protect and serve the people of Piper Falls, but I'd lay my life down at the devil's feet if it means saving hers. Despite my brothers' concerns for my safety, she's my endgame.
