Hiding from an abusive past, nurse Chloe Moreno arms herself with a new identity and seeks an uncomplicated life in Eden Falls. But her security in the once-peaceful small town is crumbling fast. Not only is there a kidnapper on the loose, but it seems her worst nightmare has tracked her down. She needs someone to trust . . . and no one fits the bill better than Dr. Derek Colton. Resident healer and protector, that’s all Derek is expected to be. A new relationship—especially with his beautiful, vulnerable new nurse—is a risk the widower shouldn’t take.
