Obsession. Conspiracy. Attempted murder.
One small-town sheriff just found herself caught in the middle of a deadly game.
As Steele Ridge’s first female sheriff, Maggie Kingston thought she was ready for anything—until a superstar quarterback moved to town, dragging his big-city chaos right to her doorstep. Within hours of Jayson Tucker’s arrival, Maggie is juggling swarms of reporters, unruly fans, and a media storm that threatens to swallow her quiet community whole.
But when Jayson uncovers disturbing evidence tied to a charity he’s been supporting, Maggie realizes his troubles run far deeper than bad press. Is someone orchestrating a takedown to destroy him? And if so, how far will his enemies go to silence him for good?
With danger closing in, Maggie and Jay must untangle the truth from the lies before time runs out. But as sparks fly between them, the line between duty and desire blurs—and survival may depend on trusting each other with everything, including their hearts.
