When all hell breaks loose, there's only one way to run.
Morgan Hennessy is a high-powered, North Carolina attorney who's spent the past five years trying to forget her failed marriage to someone she'd once considered to be her best friend. Just when she thinks she's gotten things together, the attentions of a colleague turn obsessive. Alive after one vicious attack, Morgan knows only one person can protect her now. Her ex-husband. The one man who still owns her heart.
Evan Hennessy, the small town sheriff of Skyler, North Carolina, has never forgotten the love he shared with his ex-wife and when she returns to his town, needing protection, he can't refuse her. To do so would mean denying his own heart. And when she needs him to reassure her she's as sexy as she once was despite her scars, Evan will do that, too. She walked out on him once and he's been waiting five years for her return. Hell itself won't be able to tear her out of his arms this time.
