A dedicated small-town sheriff as tender as he is tough, John Thomas was Samantha's best friend, her first love -- and now he is her only chance. Fate has carried them down different roads, but the fire has never died -- and the passion flares white-hot the moment heir eyes meet again. But this time Samantha must trust the proud, strong, devastatingly handsome lawman with more than her heart -- she must trust him with her life. Because there is another man who wants her, and he's waiting for the right time to strike. And the next sweet, sensuous kiss she and John Thomas share could well be Samantha's last.
