The New York Times bestselling author of Harbor Island delivers nonstop suspense and pulse-pounding romance in this thrilling mystery that âproves once and for all that opposites not only attract, they sizzleâ (Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author).
Vermont newspaper editor Cozie Hawthorne is astounded by the money she makes when her essay collection becomes a bestseller. But she has no plans to let the success go to her head. Sheâs more than content to keep her rusted Jeep and live in an old house that seems to attract more bats than men.
Daniel Foxworth, renegade son of the Texas oil Foxworths, specializes in putting out chemical fires. At least he did until someone sabotaged his helicopter and almost killed him. The prime suspect is Cozieâs brother and evidence is piling up as fast as the attraction is growing between Daniel and Cozie. When she finds out that the sexy Texan is out to prove her brotherâs guilt, Cozie is determined to find out whoâs really after Daniel. But as danger mounts, Daniel faces an even greater challenge: winning Cozieâs trust...before someone ends up dead.
