Nick — Simone Carter

Darcy Campbell was a laid-off Chicago music teacher who took a job playing at a piano bar out of desperation. She'd had a run of bad luck and was already having another bad day…but it turned disastrous when she was the only witness to a mass murder. She watched in horror as her boss, his son, and other employees were gunned down before her eyes.

The police promised to protect her identity if she testified against the monsters that had committed the massacre. But her name somehow was discovered and threats immediately fired in her direction. Detective Nick Baker promised to protect her and when things got hot he hid her away in his cabin in the backwoods of Wisconsin. Darcy wasn't sure what the bigger danger was â€" the killer hunting her or falling in love with the man who vowed to protect her.

She couldn't love a police officer. She refused to love a police officer. It was nearly impossible to resist him, though, with his intense silver eyes and brawny body. He was like a drug, addictive and sinfully potent. Somehow she needed to protect her heart from him while he protected her from the deranged killers.

Was she brave enough to confront both dangers?
