A sizzling new contemporary romance from award-winning author LaQuette.

Colton Adams just wants to keep his head down, do his job, and go home. His plan from now until retirement is to toe the line and keep his nose clean. Unfortunately for him, being assigned to protect and investigate ex-convict Seneca Daniels will not help him accomplish that, especially when just the thought of her makes his body burn.

Seneca wants a new start. After spending seven years in a state prison looking over her shoulder to stay alive, all she wants is the quiet, solitary life working on Restoration Ranch. Everything is calm in her new role of Network Director until a chance run-in with her prison tormentor drags her back to the darkest time of her life. Determined to break free, she sets out to take control of her destiny once and for all. There's just one problem: the sexy Ranger she can't seem to ignore is muddying up her plans.

When the Restoration Ranch case escalates and Seneca's past and Colton's present collide, a clear decision will have to be made: they either protect themselves or work together and solve the case. But the more time they spend together, and the more their desire grows, the more Colton has to wonder how sweet it would be to ignore his duty for once and simply let their all-consuming fire blaze...
