One moment I’m alone, fantasizing about the grumpy silver-fox next door.
The next, my vibrator explodes. Then...
He.
Shows.
Up.

Sheriff Lucas Riggs.
My next-door neighbor with a hero complex and a jawline made for sin.

He knocks down my door like a gladiator...
And finds me in my bed - in utter shock - wearing nothing but a towel.
Vibrator on the floor. Caught on fire.

"Jesus woman. You could've gone up in flames," he growls.
You're coming with me."

He scoops me up like I don't weigh a thing and hauls me into his cabin.

As if this day isn't embarrassing enough,
His two equally hot best friends greet me.

Deputy inked, intense, and ice-cold in all the right ways.
Deputy bearded, broody, and quietly protective.

Three ex-military men.
All irresistible in their own dreamy way.
Older. Off-limits.
And looking at me like I'm forbidden fruit.

They offer me shelter.
Then a job.
Then...
Let's just say what started as a spark quickly becomes a wildfire.

But Frost Valley is hiding something dark.
Secrets no one talks about.
And my past? It’s about to crash head-on into my present.

All three men are ready to go full-blown feral to keep me safe.
But can they save me from secrets that threaten to take everything I hold dear?
