But two bullets put a dent in his Southern charm and now hes facing a criminal still on the loose and a town full of citizens that consider the law more of a guideline. The last thing he needs is the leggy, smart-mouthed Lina Solavita moving in next door, making him feel things he doesnt have the energy to feel.

Lina is on a mission. As soon as she gets what shes after, she has no intention of sticking around. The town of Knockemout has other ideas. Soon she finds herself sucked into small-town life. Dog-sitting. Saying yes to a bridesmaids dress. Listening to the sexy chief of police in the shower.

But when Nash discovers Linas secret these friends become furious enemies though the sparks flying between them dont know the difference between love and hate.
