Blurb/Synopsis:
Hartwick County, South Dakota, represents a
fresh start for Mackenzie¬—“Mack”—Redford. Life in the big city wasn’t what he
expected, and now he’s home and serving as sheriff.
Brantley Calderone is also looking for a
new life. After leaving New York and buying a ranch, he’s settling in and
getting used to living at a different pace—until he finds a dead woman on his
porch and himself the prime suspect in her murder.
Mack and Brantley quickly realize several
things: someone is trying to frame Brantley; he is no longer safe alone on his
ranch; and there’s a definite attraction developing between them, one that only
increases when Mack offers to let Brantley stay in his home. But as their
romance escalates, so does the killer. They’ll have to stay one step ahead and
figure out who wants Brantley dead before it’s too late. Only then can they
start the new life they’re both seeking—together.

Brantley’s legs held out until he closed
the door, and then he collapsed into the nearest chair. During all of the
activity, he’d been able to keep his mind on what was happening and managed to
remain aloof, but now everything hit him like a semitruck at freeway speed.
Someone had been shot on his front porch, and it was obvious that whoever had
done it was either trying to send him some sort of message or it was a clumsy
effort to frame him. Either way, it scared the living shit out of him.
He picked up his phone and made a call back
East. “Linda, pick up,” he said under his breath as the phone rang.
“This better be good, sweetheart. I finally
got Jim to take me out to that new restaurant. It took three months to get a
reservation, and we have to leave in ten minutes.”
Brantley could practically see her hurrying
through the bedroom of her Upper East Side apartment. “I came home today and
found a dead body on my porch. Someone shot my real estate agent, and I think
they tried to pin it on me.” He leaned forward, trying to get oxygen to his
head. “I lived in New York for God knows how long, and I’ve spent a week out
here, where it’s supposed to be open and where everyone knows everyone else,
and there’s a dead body on my porch.” He was tempted to fucking sell the place
and go back home.
“Honey, wait. Are you serious?”
“Yes.” He held his head and stroked his
forehead.
“So come home. We miss you, and those
people are obviously weird out there. What, do they kill each other off and put
the bodies on each other’s doorsteps? Hello, Welcome Wagon,” Linda said, and
Brantley knew she was throwing her hands in the air dramatically.
“I don’t think that’s how it works. But I
have to tell you that being out here alone is starting to freak me out. I have
every door locked, and I’m sitting in the middle of the room away from windows
in case anyone is watching me. Have I told you that it’s freakishly quiet out
here? There isn’t a sound except bugs and birds, and at night it’s just the
bugs. No cars, nothing.”
“Then come home.”
“I can’t. You know that. Everything there
has been sold, and I bought this place here.” He’d uprooted his life to find
something he thought he was missing. He hadn’t expected a murder on his
doorstep.
