She built a sanctuary. He's about to blow it apart.
Sheila McBride knows the cost of trusting the wrong man. Three years ago, a Border Patrol agent she loved used her secrets to destroy the immigrant families she'd been protecting. Now she runs Chiricahua Coffee & Covers in Willcox, Arizona, quietly helping those who need it most and trusting no one with a badge.
When her young cousin Maria vanishes, Sheila fears the worst. The cartels have been circling closer, and Maria is exactly the kind of target they prey on. But Sheila can't go to the police. Reporting Maria missing would expose every family she's been sheltering and tear apart everything she's built.
Then Matt Morrow walks into her cafe. Dangerous. Guarded. And clearly hiding something.
Matt has spent ten years running from the night he lost everything. His parents. His sister. His faith. Now he's DEA, deep undercover in a cartel operation that stretches far beyond what anyone realized. His mission is to bring them down from the inside. His problem is the stubborn cafe owner who's about to get caught in the crossfire.
As Sheila and Matt circle each other with suspicion and reluctant attraction, the cartel tightens its grip on the border town the McBride family has called home for seven generations. When Sheila discovers Matt's true identity, it doesn't bring relief. It brings fury. He's law enforcement. He lied. He's everything she swore she'd never trust again.
But Maria is still missing. The cartel is closing in. And Matt might be the only one who can help... if Sheila can find the faith to let him.
