He wants to keep nursing his anger at the woman who betrayed his family and nearly ruined his brother's life. Instead, the desire burns hotter than ever... Not that he'd ever act on it.

Hailey Alexander knows her past is littered with mistakes. She's worked hard to move on, but a certain Scottish-born deputy isn't in any hurry to forgive or forget.

Can they fight the attraction that's compromising their hearts?
