Lydia Frederickson is afraid to answer her telephone. Widowed and alone, she only wants to get through another anniversary of her husband's death without falling to pieces, but a stalker isn't making that goal easy. The disturbing calls are becoming increasingly personal and threatening, and everyone who knows her is suspect. The only person she knows isn't making the calls is her new ponytailed, tattooed—and breathtakingly handsome— minister, Matthew Winters. Former-narcotics-agent-turned-minister Matthew Winters knows he's not what the town expected in their new pastor, but he's up for the challenge. What he doesn't expect is the sudden attraction he feels for parishioner Lydia Frederickson. When he discovers she's the victim of a stalker, he feels God's intervention has led him—both a cop and a preacher—to her. Matthew knows he's falling for the beautiful widow, but a secret from his past may undermine their future.
