When Texas Ranger Brice McAllister spies a sexy woman in short shorts gardening in her backyard, he can’t help but flirt. After she shuts him down hard, he’s astonished to discover this alluring woman is the dowdy reference librarian he met while researching deeds. He’s instantly intrigued—and his protective instincts go on overdrive when her neighbors, his best friends, reveal they fear she might be hiding from someone.

Leaving trauma behind her, Mary Williams makes a new life for herself in Whiskey River, focusing on her love for gardening, cooking, and her neighbors’ delightful daughter. She’s cautious when the girl insists on including her “Uncle Brice” in their encounters.

As Brice slowly dissolves her reserve, Mary finds herself wondering if life might hold something more. But when danger from her past finds her, the lawman she never thought she could trust becomes the first man she can rely on.
