Cade Myers was enjoying his transition from big city homicide detective to small town sheriff. The pace of his new town is much slower and the crime rate is almost non-existent. In his first year the only crime he encountered was littering. Paperwork was his biggest problem until one night on his way home he finds a woman with head trauma and drenched, on the side of the road. From the first moment she opens her beautiful brown eyes in that hospital bed, Cade is hooked. He spends his time trying to figure out who assaulted “Mary”. Cade can’t imagine anyone wanting to hurt the sweet, kind-hearted, gorgeous, librarian, for everyone loves Mary and he was afraid that it definitely included him.
“Mary Smith” was 13 months old. She loved her books, helping kids, and the sexy sheriff, Cade Myers. She’d be happy with her lot in her short life, if she could stop having troublesome dreams, deal with her secret admirer, dispel the dread of shadowy memories.
Almost overnight, Cade’s small town started taking on traits of the big city he left behind. He had a prankster that was getting out of hand, a missing witness from the WITness SECurity program, an escalating stalker, a vandal, and he had to deal with it all while he falling hopelessly in love...No problem.
