After getting my heart handed to me on a chopping block, I returned to Ferry's End Island to lick my wounds and swore off men forever. I had my shop, my family, and my cat. Who needs love? Not this girl…
Deputy Colin Mathews is my polar opposite. I prefer to be barefoot, he wears boots everywhere. My clothes are free-flowing and comfortable, his are pressed to perfection. I feel time is fluid while Colin lives by his calendar. We have absolutely nothing in common, except an insane spark of attraction.

When a contest my shop sponsored crosses paths with a series of crimes that Colin is investigating, I don’t know what scares me more—that I might be implicated legally or the storm that brews inside me every time Colin and I make eye contact. I won't be walking away from this the same. I’ll either lose my freedom, or worse—my heart.
