Dear Reader,

Spring is officially in the air, new leaves are on the trees and I’m already planning my garden. I cannot wait. Something about watching things grow from seed to fruit makes my heart sing…much like the promise of romance, because it seems to take the same path. A spark of something special, a hefty dose of sexual attraction to fertilize, then a little patience as love and affection take root. And voilà! Happily ever after!

Active Ranger Eli Weston used to be a stickler for the rules, but of late he’s thinking of them more as suggestions and suddenly isn’t opposed to bending them when the occasion arises. Such is the case when a dear friend commits suicide and, despite insistent pressure from the military to admit that Micah’s gun didn’t misfire as he was cleaning it, Eli holds firm. He’s protecting a friend’s memory and family. When Eli is asked to help build a memorial to his friend, things get even more complicated because it puts him in close proximity to Shelby Monroe, Micah’s former fiancée. She’s mouthy and opinionated, the town darling and Eli’s worst nightmare. He’s never wanted a woman more...and she’s the one woman he desperately needs to resist.
