As a lawman, he knew she had secrets. Ones that could bust his case wide open.
Tasked with finding a mysterious murder suspect, DEA agent Cole Pierson was in Timberline on a mission. He didn’t need distractions like the lovely Caroline Johnson. Though he didn’t think she could be his suspect, she was clearly hiding something and her safety became Cole’s top priority.
She’d awoken next to a dead man, her memory gone. When “Caroline” had come to the small town looking for answers, she hadn’t counted on meeting Cole. He offered the protection she so desperately needed. But if he found out she’d been lying, that he’d become involved with a suspect, it would mean the end to any future—or happiness—she had imagined.
With shaking hands, she unzipped her bag and reached inside for Cole’s wallet.
Cole stared back at her from a California driver’s license. He hadn’t lied about being a California boy. Ignoring the cash in the billfold, she jammed her fingers into the slot behind his license and pulled out a stack of cards.
The gold-embossed letters on the top card blurred before her eyes and she slid down the length of the door until she was crouching against it.
Cole Pierson was a DEA agent, and he must be looking for the woman he believed murdered Johnny Diamond and stole his drug money.
He was looking for her.
