One dirty copy damaged her reputation...one good man wants to repair it.
Marguerite Theroux is not the type of woman to mince words. Couple that with her regrettable actions of the past and you have the perfect storm for gossip. Yeah, small towns can be brutal, but coming home to her family and switching careers is better than running away from her problems-and her grief. Besides, no one's better at ignoring the pain than Marguerite.
US Marshal Declan McKinley used to love the hunt for fugitives, and he certainly never let a woman get under his skin while on the job...until he met Marguerite. Her incomparable beauty, her smart mouth, and even smarter brain calls to him like no other. Or maybe it's the vulnerability she thinks no one can see that makes him want to protect her like a white knight. Either way, he can't get her out of his dreams-or his nightmares.
After the tragedy of their past, they are once again faced with the kind of trouble only known in Timbisha Township. Except this time it involves chocolate, a serial killer, the FBI...and, of course, the family so tenacious no one can ignore them. Will Declan and Marguerite make amends, or will they get more than they bargained for?
