Chapter 1

US Marshal Cole Wagner devotes his life to his work. He strives to protect those who can't protect themselves and he saves lives. And, he's good at it. He's never lost a witness and solves all his cases. But when Lawyer Hazel Peterson steps into the picture, he has trouble. He's worried about losing this case. And even worse, losing her.
Hazel Peterson has never been used as target practice. So when a murderer chooses her as their next target, life goes from normal to crazy. She can't be working, she's stuck alone in the middle of nowhere, she's forced to hide. But the one person who can cheer her up is Cole Wagner. And he's not just cheering her up, he's stealing her heart.
