      A SWAT officer must protect the woman who broke his heart

      Years ago, detective and part-time SWAT officer Max Remington proposed to the woman he loved. Her response? To flee town—and Max’s life—under a cloud of suspicion. Folks said Bexley Kane killed the man “allegedly” stalking her and got away with murder. Now Bex is back in Destiny, Tennessee, but their tense reunion is cut short when bullets start flying, and this time, they’re aimed at her. As Max fights to keep Bex safe, he’s also fighting to protect his heart. Can they unravel the secrets of the past in time to save each other? Or will Bex’s final secret destroy them both?

      “Bex,” a harsh whisper sounded. “Move. Now.”

      Bex’s eyes flew open. Impossibly, Max stood towering over her, ski-mask guy limply hanging over his shoulder, his arms dangling toward the ground. Max jerked his head, motioning for her to run straight ahead to the aisle directly in front of them.

      Stunned that she was alive and could run, she ducked and darted from the alcove, then stopped just past the endcap and looked behind her.

      He yanked out his pistol and shoved it toward her. “Remember how to use one of these?” he whispered.

      She swallowed, then nodded. “I haven’t fired one in years.”

      Something dark passed in his eyes, and she knew he was remembering one of the many times he’d taken her to target practice so long ago.

      And seeing him now, so calm and focused, she knew that if anyone could save her, it was Max.

      But who would save her from him?

      The whispers started thirty seconds after Bexley Kane walked down aisle three in the Piggly Wiggly on Magnolia Street. Not that there was a Piggly Wiggly on any other street in the tiny town of Destiny, Tennessee. With a population the size of a large high school in other parts of the state, this town could only support one grocery store. And one movie theater. And one Waffle House. But, oddly enough, there were four Starbucks. Too bad not one of them was anywhere close to Magnolia Street. Bex sure could use a venti caramel macchiato right now.

      Head high, shoulders back, she began filling her cart as quickly as possible while pretending not to notice
