From the Author:
When I decided I wanted to write a book with a cop hero, I turned to Mark Graham, US Marshal, who not only provided me with all the law enforcement information I needed but also gave me a glimpse into what it's actually like to do the job that he does. Thank you, Mark, for the info and the laughs. You rock.
Dedication:
My paternal grandmother was an avid reader, even bringing up several children during the depression and beyond. Her attachment to Harlequin romances is legendary in our family. So much so that at once point or another we've all been called "Myrtle" after her - my mother, my sisters, even me. Now my own children have taken on that tradition; this summer found my girls on a bunk with a book more often than not, and at one point or another they were dubbed "Myrtle".
Gram passed away when I was seventeen, but I think of her often these days as I'm not writing the stories that she loved so much.
I dedicate this book to Gram, for passing on her love for books to all of us, and hope that in some small way I have done her proud. This is for you, Grammie.
From the Inside Flap:
Maggie knew it was wrong, but it felt right.
Why now, after all this time, did she finally feel connected to someone? There were so many reasons why he was wrong for her. He was a man who lived for his work, and thought nothing of putting himself in danger. He had this life ahead of him. They didn't even live in the same country.
And in a very short time he'd be gone. And she was shocked to find, in the circle of his arms, that she would miss him when he left.
But she had right now, and she burrowed deeper into his chest, letting the clean scent of him surround her. Letting his body form a cocoon as the slightest bit of healing trickled into her.
