Description
"On the count of murder in the first degree, We the jury find the Defendant, Rory McIntosh... not guilty." These words sealed the fate of 26-year-old Darling Evans. After witnessing her ex-fiancé murder the Governor of New York and her father in cold blood, she is forced into Witness Protection fearing for her own life. Having undergone plastic surgery and taken a new name, Darling is relocated to a small recluse town in Texas in hopes of putting her dark past behind her. Dark and brooding are the perfect words to describe Quinton Valley's Sheriff Atlas Jericho. All he wants is a simple life of drinking beer, playing with his dogs, and keeping teens from making out down by the lake. But what happens when he meets a certain newcomer that is shy yet too beautiful to ignore. And why does she wear a wig? As Darling tries to hide the secrets from her past from the charming sheriff, will she end up falling for him in the process? Or will her ex-fiancé find her and get away with a second murder?
