Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, but for Jane Grey, almost is the story of her life. Almost murdered as a child...almost survived high school unscathed...almost lost her virginity to Andy Morgan after graduation. Twenty-five years later, she's back in Summerville to close her uncle's estate and hopes the trip will bury her traumatic childhood memories. Instead, someone is ready to kill for her inheritance. Detective Andy Morgan needs evidence to put Summerville's corrupt police chief behind bars, and he doesn't want any distractions. So when the girl he never forgot needs his help, he almost refuses--but his heart won't let him. As bullets fly, Andy realizes his investigation and Jane's inheritance are as intertwined as he would like their hearts to be. But Jane can't look beyond her past to see a future together--can he survive long enough to convince her he's worth the risk?
