A private investigator asks a rebel small-town deputy to pose as her boyfriend during a dangerous investigation. Wheeler Remington always closes his cases, but his reputation for pushing the boundaries has earned him more than one slap on the wrist from the police department. He's exactly the kind of guy Dyoni Whitaker needs to help her track a cut-throat gambling ring. Wheeler also happens to be the renowned heartbreaker her brother has warned her to stay away from, but she ignores his advice and asks Wheeler to pretend they're dating. It's the perfect excuse for him to be seen outside his jurisdiction. But unseen hands seem to be weaving a different story, one that allows her to witness the man hidden beneath the armor. A man worthy of her deepest loyalty. A man who may be interested in turning their temporary arrangement into something more permanent.
