Her attempt to melt into the shadows doesn't work, and she soon finds herself sparring with the sheriff, a man who intrigues her on many levels. In order to keep her plan of revenge secret, however, she must lie to him... and she finds doing so the hardest thing she's ever done.

Then a stabbing outside a local strip club threatens his perfect record. Eager to close the case in record time, he corners an elusive witness and finds himself falling for more than her fictitious version of the events the night the victim died.
