About this ebook

Learning of a plot to derail the vital software he’s developing, JD Marshall is on the run with his adolescent son, his computers, and his raw nerve. Forced off the road and injured in the middle of Nowheresville, KY, he’s left at the mercy of Nina Toon, an infuriatingly independent teacher who commands his formidable attention in dangerous ways.

Nina is equally unsettled by the Harley-riding stranger negotiating his way into her life. He claims to have the money to make her dreams of a botanical garden come true. But how can she trust a rugged charmer who’s brought a murderer to her quiet town?

Even worse, how can she not?

Ratings and reviews

JD and Nina had less than optimal family lives. Their chance meeting will change their lives. A mix of small town society, business crime, and attraction between two seemingly disparate characters makes for an interesting and enjoyable read.

Usually don't care for stories with suspense, but this was different. Focus remained on the growing relationships
