Sometimes evil hides in plain sight...
War veteran Zoe Peyton thinks her traumatic past is behind her. Until a man breaks into her home and attacks her. If it weren't for her off-limits crush and friend Cruz Sawyer chasing away her intruder, she would have suffered a far worse fate. Now it seems her past is crashing into her present, tearing her world apart again.
Officer Cruz Sawyer moved to the sleepy town of Pine Valley, Tennessee to heal after his fiancé died in a burglary he couldn't stop. The walls around his heart are thick, especially where Zoe Peyton is concerned. She's a friend, and that's all he can ever allow. When he chases off Zoe's intruder, he vows to keep her safe. No matter the cost.
Cruz's promise to keep Zoe alive lands their friendship in uncharted territory and their mutual attraction can't be denied, even if past scars threaten to keep them from confessing their feelings. When her attacker ups the stakes, Cruz and Zoe's lives are on the line-as well as their hearts. While in pursuit of a murderer, they make their ways closer to the truth. But when delusion is involved, the enemy can be nearly impossible to see.
