Love-an unparalleled force of nature. Conservation Officer, Finley McKay, isn't a stranger to criticism. Taking risks to protect delicate ecosystems doesn't impress most people-including the doctor renting the cabin beside hers. The man's arrogant, opinionated and far too sexy in his faded jeans and tees. She already knows he'san ass-she just wished it mattered enough to make her keep her distance. Dr. Coen Brady isn't looking to fit in. Having recently retired from the military, he's hoping to spend a few months hiding from the world in a small, out-of-the-way town in northern Washington. But just his luck, he has the misfortune of running into his next-door neighbor. A girl who seems determined to get herself killed before his time there is up. She's reckless, stubborn and slowly driving him insane. When angermorphs into angry sex, Coen knows taking her to bed is a calculated risk-one he might regret when her investigation turns deadly, leaving Finley's life hanging in the balance. Breaking a few rules to keep her in the game doesn't seem that dangerous, until it becomes painfully obvious she won't stop until justice is served-even if the price is her life."
