Less than a year ago, Katy Lattimer's life went topsy-turvy when the county commissioners named her Boone County Sheriff after the corrupt one unexpectedly died. Since then, she's been running on caffeine and prayers. She has zero time for a life outside of work, but what's a girl to do when a sexy-and oh so nice-cowboy decides he wants to get to know her better? Especially when her body wakes up and takes notice of a man for the first time in years? And did she mention he was nice? And sexy? The man is practically irresistible. She can't help but wonder, though, if she can she give him the time he deserves and still do her job to the best of her abilities. Jasper Hendriks spent most of his adult life raising his kid sister after their mom died. Free to pursue any avenue he wants now that Megan is in college, he discovers he's happy where he is as a ranch hand on the Stone Creek and as a search and rescue tracker for state and local authorities. Well, happy with everything except for one thing: he wants someone to share it with. He's always wanted a wife and a family of his own, but never really thought about what that might look like. Not until Katy Lattimer entered his life. Now, he can envision that life with her. But can their love survive the dangers of her job, or will it tear them apart-permanently.
