Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the word of the law. As the new police chief of Quincy, Montana, she's determined to show the public that she didn't get her job because her grandfather was the mayor. According to her grandfather, all she has to do is earn the Edens' favor. But winning the favor of the city's founding family would have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their eldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn't know that the gruff and charming man who had dragged her into bed was Quincy royalty. Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake that she is trying to forget. He is insufferable, arrogant and constantly reminds everyone that she is an outsider. Winslow tries his best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman's body is found on Eden's property, the two are left with no choice but to cooperate with each other. As evidence leads to a Quincy resident as the killer, Griffin realizes there is more to Winslow than he thought she was. Beautiful and smart, it's hard to resist her. And to him. And the killer.
