"Hope Spencer roars into a small Idaho town in her fancy car and outrageous boots and Sheriff Dylan Taber instantly knows she's going to be trouble. When Hope, a tabloid writer who would prefer to keep her profession to herself, discovers the last sheriff was murdered in the house she's renting, she know that she's IN trouble. Her encounters with Sheriff Taber don't help, as she finds herself very attracted to him...despite his secrets. "

"Hope comes to Gospel, Idaho from California to escape a midget stalker and to write fictional tabloid stories. What she finds is a handsome, very available sheriff who is just as confused as she is about finding love. They struggle to overcome their own fears and along the way find out that they have both been less than truthful about themselves and their pasts. Rachel Gibson is a very funny, romantic writer. She's one of my new favorites!"
