Sheriff Brandon Schofield is smitten by the new arrival in Clear Water Creek, Finn Austen. But Finn is living in the house by the lake where a murder took place and his story is no less unhappy
than the previous occupant's. Finn is on the run from a violent past and he trusts no one. Brandon is desperate to break down his defences and win Finn's love and trust but time is running out
and perhaps he can only protect Finn for so long.
