By the time you swear you’re his, shivering and sighing,
and he vows his passion is infinite, undying — lady, make a note of this:
one of you is lying. — Dorothy Parker
After being cleared of murder charges, Maggie McGuire escaped to her childhood home to rebuild her shattered life. She vowed never to forgive, nor forget, because she’d never know when the past might rise up to bite her in the butt. Three years later, when time and distance have tempered her pain, the past comes back. This time her children are in danger. And the nosy chief of police keeps coming back, wearing down her defenses. He is relentless about uncovering her sordid past in order to deal with the present. She once paid a very high price for trusting a cop. Is Mike Brandt for real or another uniformed bully disguised as a smooth-talking hunk? He’ll have to walk a very long road before she puts the lives of her precious children in his hands.
No innocent when it comes to personal betrayal, Chief Michael Brandt will have to put aside past resentments in order to uncover the real Maggie, then convince her he is worth the effort to try just once more.
