He seems as noble as the American eagle tattooed on his pecs. She knows he's an imposter.
After eight grueling years in the Marine Corps and college, Jace Lassiter welcomes a return to his Midwest roots. He's walking in his grandfather's footsteps wearing a badge. Next on his list: reform his promiscuous habits and find a wife. His radar lights up as soon as she is within range.
Leslie Hamilton races down the interstate fleeing the heartbreaking deceit of her best friend and former fiancé. Jace detains her speeding vehicle, but his square-jawed good looks and tenderness won't derail her plans. She's starting new in a small-town furniture store and building her interior-design portfolio as a ticket to a promising job in a larger market.
He didn't expect his missing brother's drug cartel associates to hunt him down. When they do, can he protect himself and those he loves?
Leslie admires Jace's concern for others almost as much as she admires his chiseled abs and roped shoulders. But once she learns his devastating secret, can she double-cross their nemesis before he carries out his threats?
