Hide and Seek

I'm finally living the life I want as a deputy sheriff in the small town of Appleton Falls. I gave up my job as a cop in the NYPD to search for the truth about a father I barely know, except finding him brought me no peace.
But I'm happy. Really. I'd love to fall in love, but it just hasn't happened. Yet.

Then he shows up to join our force.
My old high school nemesis, Dominic Starr. The gorgeous loner and the bane of my existence.
As well as my secret fantasy.
Why did he leave the NYPD? Was he running from his powerful father? Or hiding from him?

It's not like he wants to forgive and forget and be friends. At every turn he's in my face, taunting and teasing me with that stupid nickname he loves and knows I hate.
Starr should be careful, because he's got secrets only I know.
And one of them is mine as well.
But when the past we both want to leave behind crashes into our present—with deadly consequences—neither of us can hide what we've been running from all our lives: The future we both seek is in each other's arms.
If we make it out alive.
