Introduction

The last person she wanted was the only one who could keep her safe. Janie Vincent had no use for cops. They’d never done her any favours.

But when she uncovers a lead into the disappearance of a girl at the college where she’s a teaching assistant, suddenly Janie’s life depends on the officers of Scorpion Ridge. And one in particular: Sheriff Rafael Salazar.

Rafe's Dedication

Rafe knows how much destruction a missing-persons case can cause a family, and so to solve this case, he’s determined to stick to Janie like glue. She’s clearly not a fan of the 24/7 surveillance, but he intends to break down her distrust.

The Hope for Healing

And maybe they’ll discover that what Janie saw can be the key to healing them both.
