Closer to You

Summary

Located an hour away from San Diego, the small town of Blackmont, California, is known for its peaceful surroundings and majestic lakes. However, secrets and danger lurk just below the surface. And some secrets could prove to be deadly.

Love may be a distraction neither of them will live to enjoy . . .

When Zahra Chandler unexpectedly inherits her grandfather's small-town home and bookstore, she jumps at the chance to leave LA. There's just one problem: she also, unknowingly, inherits a long-buried secret that someone would go to any lengths to protect, including murder. The only thing standing between her and a killer is the town's arrogant, but irresistibly sexy sheriff—a man who ignites in her a passion she's never felt.

Kendall McKnight takes his job as sheriff seriously and is always prepared for anything . . . except his instant attraction to newcomer Zahra. As they're drawn together in their search for clues, protecting her becomes less about civic duty and much more about carnal desire and he's in danger of losing the one thing he vowed never to risk again—his heart. But the threat is closer than they realize and the truth could tear them apart forever.

Contains mature themes.
