The Baxter Police Department is prepared to battle against the drug dealers, pimps, and stick-up artists constantly streaming into town. Or, it should be.

I never meant to be anyone’s heroine. Not when I became the acting mayor of my hometown after the flood. Not when I kept my law practice afloat out of a booth in my grandmother’s diner. And definitely not when my secret romantasy novels went viral. Nobody in Gibson Hollow knows I’m the author behind the pen name. And nobody was supposed to kiss me at that book convention—least of all my brother’s best friend, cosplaying the hero he doesn’t know I modeled after him.

Alia Gibson is my best friend’s twin. Off-limits. Untouchable. The one girl I’m not supposed to want. I told myself I was just watching out for her. That’s what friends do. But the truth? I’ve never wanted anything the way I want Alia. And if I cross that line... I’m not sure I’ll ever come back.

And like vultures homing in on the weak, criminal gangs from the big cities have also been drawn to the boomtown, knowing how freely money will flow to those willing to supply drugs and women to these workers far from home.
