Tall, lean and headstrong, FBI agent Kilraven lives by his own rules. One of those rules includes keeping his hands off Jacobsville's resident sweetheart, Winnie Sinclair, no matter the temptation. Shy and innocent, Winnie couldn't handle a man like him--a merciless man with a haunted past. And this small town may hold not only the woman he fights to resist, but the answers to a cold case that is very personal....
Winnie has had her own share of sorrow and senses Kilraven's pain. Though she tries to deny it, the gentle 911 operator feels a connection with the darkly handsome agent. When he discovers that her family's unsavory past might have a bearing on his case, Winnie is determined to help him crack it...and the ice around his heart.
As they combine forces, the stakes rise ever higher. Winnie's life is on the line and she'll need Kilraven more than ever. But if they are to have a future, her ruthless Texan will need to confront his past and risk it all for love.
