"No more detours!" That was the promise Angelina Lord made to herself when she accepted a ride from a wedding in Texas, with the best man to her destination in Santa Fe, New Mexico. What could possibly go wrong?

Angelina is focused on one thing—opening a fashion boutique in Santa Fe. What she really doesn't need is one full-of-himself lawman with his aggravating air of superiority and soul-searing eyes...not to mention heart-stopping kisses...coming to her rescue. If she lets him get too close to the truth, he could bring down the wall she erected around her well-ordered life and her heart.

United States Marshal Jace Blackhawke holds family and traditions as the center of his life. He isn't part of Angie's world and she certainly isn't part of his. Will their differences prove to be too insurmountable in the face of the truth that will not stay silent?
