Sheriff Wilson Drake thinks Elizabeth Stevens is the one woman who can fulfill him.  If only he can convince her.  When a murderer targets his peaceful community, he worries that she could be the next victim.  Or is she the very reason for the trouble in his town?

Elizabeth Stevens underestimates the sacrifices required when she enters the Witness Security Program.  She's warned to trust no one, not even the local sheriff with whom she's fallen in love.  She knows their romance is doomed because sooner or later Wilson---or the contract killer on her trail—will figure out she's a fraud.

But Wil isn't easily discouraged. Even if he has to track down a murderer, defy a U.S. Marshal, and battle a deadly hurricane, Wil believes Elizabeth is worth the trouble.
