When a famous chef brings her cooking show to small-town upstate New York, the last thing she needs is a military man telling her what to do. But when a local boy turned elite warrior is assigned to protect her, sparks fly almost as fast as tempers.
He's home on leave, looking forward to a little peace and quiet on the family farm. She's a force of nature with a camera-ready smile and a talent for getting under his skin. Keeping her safe should be a straightforward assignment. Falling for her definitely isn't part of the plan.
But trouble is brewing beneath the surface of this picture-perfect small town, and the danger may be closer than either of them realizes.
Sometimes the biggest threats grow right at home. And sometimes home is where you find the love you never expected.
