She committed the ultimate sin...
Ariana Trasatti betrayed her father, an organized crime boss, when she agreed to testify against him. Now the family will stop at nothing to silence her. But after eleven months in the witness protection program, her sanity is in as much danger as her life. When threatened with exposure, she's thrust into the care of a sexy small-town lawman who's the perfect distraction for her.
He's searching for redemption...
Deputy Sheriff Milo Sykes couldn't turn down his old buddy's desperate call to look after a witness. His friend fears there's a leak in the U.S. Marshals Service, and Milo is the only man he can trust. Milo never thought he'd protect another witness, not after the tragedy he can't put behind him. But one look into Ariana's eyes, and he knows he'll give his life to keep her safe.
Nothing is what it seems...
Milo soon realizes his biggest challenge isn't protecting Ariana from the mob, but it's the fight to keep his focus on his job instead of the beautiful woman living with him. Temptation draws them in and passion ignites their world. But it's only a matter of time before Ariana will need to leave, and he fears she'll take his heart with her.
