Three weeks before her wedding, Sara Shaw’s fiancé vanishes—and in his place, a mysterious stranger appears through a trapdoor in her apartment. Mike Newland claims to be her best friend’s brother, but he’s also a U.S. Marshal with orders: use Sara to bring down one of the country’s most dangerous criminals—her future mother-in-law.
Sara never expected her fairy-tale engagement to end in betrayal, nor that her new housemate would challenge her heart in ways she’s never known. But as secrets unravel, and trust begins to grow, Mike finds himself torn between duty and desire.
In a small town with deep roots and even deeper loyalties, two people scarred by lies must risk everything to uncover the truth—and take one last chance on love.
