Adira is a filmmaker in town interviewing people. When a smarmy local businessman propositioned her the wrong way (by feeling her up), she punched him in the jaw when he won't let go. A local judge ordered her to serve 30 days community service... leaving her in care of the local sexy sheriff Hugh Jericho. Hugh is way too busy with his job keep the peace in town. He's feeling the loneliness, but he has no time to find a girlfriend, much less marry one. Adira is tempting, but she's apparently running from her past... and the Jerichos are protective alpha males... However, Adira won't be staying in a little town of Colton, even as the town is rocked by a near-death and now, what may also be a murder... and Adira is at risk...
Nice sweet if a bit short and scorching hot in no time at all. The solution to handcuff them together ("forced proximity") is pretty ingenious, the murder mystery that went to the darkest hour later was a bit cliche and not written that well though. It seems the author forgot about shotgun's shot patterns. When two people shoot at each other with shotguns, one gets wounded in the stomach and the other in the shoulder? That's not how shotguns work (unless they're using slug rounds). Tsk, tsk.
