USA Today bestselling author Diane Benefiel brings you a gripping small-town romantic suspense about a woman haunted by her past, a reluctant attraction, and a man determined to protect her. Emmaline Kincaid doesn’t want a hero, and Police Chief Bradley Gallagher couldn’t be more wrong for her. Rugged, honest, and as steady as they come, the small-town police chief has everyone in Hangman’s Loss charmed, but Emma’s got her reasons for keeping her distance. But when vandalism, arson, and a violent attack threaten Emma, Brad steps in, refusing to let her face the danger alone. It’s unclear whether someone from her past has caught up with her, or if the escalating threat is coming from within her newfound community. As the mystery deepens and the sparks between them ignite, Emma must decide if trusting Brad is worth the risk. Solitary Man ~ Winner of the 2016 National Readers' Choice Award for Romantic Suspense.
