Words to live by for Jarek Denko, a man looking to forget his past and find his future in Eden.

He had a department to run, a daughter to raise and an investigation to solve. A relationship with any woman would be a distraction, but one with reporter Tess DeLucca - the sister of one of his prime suspects - could be his undoing. Getting up close and personal with Eden's new chief of police was part of her job.

So was remaining dispassionate, objective and in control - three things that might be possible if she trusted cops. And if she weren't so damn attracted to this one.

The little house by the lake was the perfect summer hideaway. At least that was what Faye Harper thought–until a dark, mysterious stranger appeared at her door and turned her peaceful world upside down.

Detective Aleksy Denko was compelling enough to have stepped out of her most intimate dreams. But what he wanted from her was beyond anything this prim-and-proper schoolteacher could ever have dreamed!

He asked her to pretend they were lovers, so that he could set a trap for a brutal killer. But being up-close-and-personal with this man–night after sultry, steaming night–had her aching to make this charade of passion the real thing….
