About this book
When Kit returns to her small Montana hometown, she's immediately entangled in a murder investigation—and the two men she once fled from happen to be the detective and DA assigned to her case. Nix and Donovan have never forgotten their one incredible night with her, and they're determined to use this twisted second chance to protect her, uncover the truth, and finally claim the woman who's haunted their every fantasy. As danger circles closer and the chemistry between them reignites, these rugged mountain men will stop at nothing to keep Kit safe—and convince her to stay this time. This is a steamy, protective romance about second chances and the kind of love that's worth fighting for.
