Petite, poised, private-three words that described Ms. Dabria Abdulla-Smythe quite aptly. Supercilious, sanguine, sexy as hell Three more words that also suited her. You just never knew when you stopped someone on a routine traffic violation what you might actually be in for. This particular hot little number with her air of superiority, flashing toffee-colored eyes, and chocolate brown tresses definitely tweaked his interest. Unshaven, uncommon, unexpected-conceited country bumpkin Well, maybe not quite a country bumpkin per se. If Mr. I'm-All-That-and-a-Bag-of-Chips Highway Patrolman thought he had bested her by forcing her to attend a court appearance, he had no idea who he was dealing with. She knew her craft well, and when it came to defending the accused, she was a barracuda in the courtroom. Newly relocated Legal Aid lawyer Dabria was attempting to flee the shame, regret, and heartache she'd experienced over the past year. A new city, a new job, and a quite retreat in the woods might be just the ticket to soothing her wounded spirit. Burnt out from a two-year undercover operation in the big city, the appeal of a new position in a tranquil northern Saskatchewan detachment was too tempting for Detective Morgan Vaughn to turn down. Two young urban professionals transfer to the country hoping for a more pastoral existence. But small cities can still harbor horrible secrets and hide monsters that practice unbelievable atrocities. When the monsters target Dabria, can she outrun them as well as her nightmares? Can Morgan protect this enigmatic pixie that has captured his heart? And when her own dark secrets are finally revealed, will he be honor bound to turn her in?

Glenn Annah Andersson. What a handle to be hampered with your entire life. Annah was the farthest thing from masculine that any person could image. With flashing green eyes, bouncing blond curls, and a bodacious body, no one would suspect this petite bombshell was studying to be a conservation officer or that at home awaited her two small children.

Enter Lachlan MacGregor, a divorced conservation officer whose daughter's death has left his private life a closed topic. A chance meeting in a crowded hallway starts a series of events rolling out of Annah and Lachlan's control. Annah had forgotten she was a woman with needs. Now she can't seem to concentrate on anything except her raging hormones. Determined to stop this insanity and get back to the serious business of her life, Annah propositions Lachlan to a single night of delights. It works too, for a while.

The attraction between the two can't be ignored. While they privately struggle with their attraction a mountain rescue goes bad and an officer is killed. Someone has been illegally baiting a cougar as well. Lachlan vows to protect Annah and her family and make them his own.
