Detective Jackson Ford lives his life by two rules: the first, to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to prove he's nothing like his father, a man who still slinks in the shadows of Rosemary Mountain. The second rule: no relationships. Ever. 

Dr. Allison Bell never planned to return to Rosemary Mountain. But when a powerful man sabotages her career, she's desperate for a fresh start and jumps at the chance to take over a struggling family practice in her hometown. She has no idea that the monsters from her childhood are still alive and well, just waiting for her return. 

With Allison back, Jackson suddenly has a new mission: to protect his childhood best friend from the threats against her, no matter the cost—even if it means risking his heart.
