Gemma Mabley's love life is a mess. It's not her fault. Her overprotective older brother likes to stick his nose where it doesn't belong. All she wants is for someone to come along who won't run away when Tristan does his "I was a Ranger, now I'm a cop. Mess with my sister and die," routine. But the drop dead gorgeous FBI agent who comes to investigate the serial killer operating in her neck of the woods is not the man she envisioned to do that.

FBI Special Agent Ben Davidson didn't want a relationship. He didn't do permanent. But Gemma put that conviction to the test at every turn. Her sass and zest for life make him smile and brighten the dark corners of his soul. When the killer he came to catch puts her in his cross-hairs, Ben has no choice but to stick close to the chestnut-haired dynamo. Will it take nearly losing Gemma for Ben to realize he can't live without her?
