A beautifully written story full of heart, suspense, and love. Terreece crafted a beautiful, heartbreaking and funny story about survival, second chances, and unexpected, but much appreciated, found family.

-J.L. Seegars, author of Amazon Bestseller Restore Me

Maya Anderson only knows success: set a goal, create a plan, achieve. Everything she can control she does, down to her color-coordinated closet. Then someone tried to kill her.

Now, she has a new goal: Stay alive.

New town. New identity. No men. A decent, three-step plan to give her a fighting chance, until a run-in with a local detective with haunted green eyes leaves her vulnerable in more ways than one.

Mike Sheppard left his hometown in the Colorado mountains a bruised, broken kid vowing never to return. Yet here he is 20 years later, paying dues for the dead. He’s built a life protecting the vulnerable, and as the town’s newest detective, he’s determined to restore trust and honor to a department recovering from decades of corruption.

Truth. Transparency. Dedication to the law. A decent, three-step plan to give him and the town a fighting chance, until a run-in with a suspected drunk driver with the devil on her heels leaves him wanting more.

Neither is ready for this, but is anyone ever ready for the kind of love that stops your heart?

Spicy scenes, laugh-out-loud moments, suspense, danger, and epic love makes this romantic suspense novel a great read for romance readers who couldn’t put down Tiffany Patterson’s Aaron’s Patience (The Townsends of Williamsport) and Penny Reid’s Winston Brothers series …

This irritation to lovers, found family, contemporary romantic suspense novel with a heroine who can save herself marks the debut of bestselling author Terreece M. Clarke in the romance genre.

I’ve never cried more over a book, I’ve been so angry and wanted to tear someone’s head off and then be so happy and crying tears of joy.

It has all the “S’s”, Sex, Suspense, Surprise and Satisfaction!! I did have to put it down a couple of times to catch my breath but I kept it at the ready to steal a peek every chance I got. For the author’s first time sticking her toe in the pool of this genre I say stick your whole foot in girl, you got this !! So naughty and nice.
