Before inheriting her aunt's house (and giant dog), Emily would've said nothing crazy ever happened in small towns. It takes being intentionally run off the road to realizing just how wrong she'd been. If not for the kind—and dangerously sexy—good Samaritan who came to her aid, she wasn't sure what would've happened. Now all she has to do is figure out who might want her dead—and why. As a fashion photographer, Ryan doesn't get too many opportunities to rescue damsels in distress. But meeting Emily is the best thing that's happened to him in a long time. So, he'll help figure out who wants to harm this amazing woman. He'll just have to make sure he can help her without dragging her into his own messy personal issues... There's a dark side to idyllic Oak Creek. Secrets long buried are about to surface, and danger is closer than anyone realized. In fact, if they aren't careful, Emily and Ryan could lose a lot more than their hearts in this investigation...
