Blurb: The heat is growing from the inside, but danger is building on the outside.

Judge Andrew Phillips runs a tight ship in his courtroom. He’s tough, and when he hands down a sentence, he expects to be obeyed. So when a fugitive named Harper escapes and threatens his life, Andrew isn’t keen on twenty-four/seven protection… especially not from Deputy Clay Brown. They have a past, one that could cause problems in their careers.

But with Clay assigned to Andrew and the two of them together every minute, there’s nowhere to hide from their attraction—or from the fact that there’s much more than chemistry blooming between them. As the threat intensifies, Clay knows he’ll do anything it takes to protect the people who are taking their places in his heart: Andrew and his young niece and nephew.

Review: Carlisle Deputy Clay Brown finds himself with an unusual assignment. He’s been assigned as part of the detail that’s transporting his estranged cousin Harper Grange from prison to court.

Andrew is a man who is always in control, he’s staunch and sticks to business, but he also considers himself honest and fair. Unfortunately for Andrew, he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and he keeps a secret about himself and Grange.

With Grange now on the loose, the threats are piling up against Andrew and the danger so great that if forces Clay to take Andrew into hiding.

Even though Clay has a lot of the Carlisle Police Force in his corner, he takes Andrew, Auburn, Duane and Petey deeper into hiding where Andrew and Clay start to form a relationship. But, can it hold together as the threats keep coming and Grange gets closer?
