  WORTH THE RISK . . .

  Assistant D.A. Natalie Vaughn came to Fairweather to build a better life for her son and erase the mistakes of her past. All she wanted was a fresh start—she had no desire for danger or romance.

  Until Lieutenant Dylan Creighton walked into her office.

  The sexy, blue-eyed cop had only one goal: to bring down the leader of the local crime syndicate, the man responsible for destroying his family. His attraction to the beautiful attorney was a distraction he couldn’t allow—until she stumbled onto a murder scene and placed herself in the line of fire. Forced to stay close to protect Natalie, his feelings—and hers—soon gave way to passion. And only then did they realize that the greatest danger they faced might be falling in love.
