I should've been more specific when I asked the universe for a change Because here I am at 44, left with my late aunt's rundown farmhouse And a pumpkin patch I know jack about running. But hey, at least it came with a view. My hot new neighbor stepped out of the shower in plain sight, Giving me a very warm welcome to the neighborhood. Turns out Duke's not only a hunky cop but the chief of police. When I run into him at a Halloween party in town, There's no disguising the raw desire between us. And for a woman who'd never seen herself with kids, His three little ones burrowed their way into my heart. But not everyone in town is as welcoming as the McMillans.

Now I'm uncovering dark secrets that should've remained hidden, And Duke swears he'll stop at nothing to protect me. But I'll soon discover Duke and his kids have a secret of their own.
