Detective Troy Cavanaugh had never met a woman who didn't like him — until Agent Delene D'Angelo crossed his path. Thrown together by a murder investigation, Troy's attempts to get closer to the sexy parole officer were met with staunch disinterest. But Troy had also never turned away from a challenge...

But Delene was living a lie, and when her past caught up to her, would Troy be able to protect her?
