  With one of Texas’s most heinous serial killers still on the loose, it’s Colby
  agent Joel Hayden’s sworn duty to protect single mom Laney Seagers. Getting a
  job at Laney’s High Noon bar is easy for Joel…but gaining the trust of the
  fiercely independent beauty is considerably harder.
  
  Amid escalating danger, Joel struggles to safeguard the shattering family
  secret that could destroy all Laney has ever known. As he witnesses her world

  violence may be easier than protecting her heart.
