Two years after the accident that drove him to retire from the FBI, Ty Young has settled into his life as Captain of the Key West Police Force. Everything is quiet and peaceful—until a feisty young redhead tries to steal his wallet.

Ty’s world is upended with the arrival of 11-year-old Roxy as he suddenly finds himself temporarily responsible for the child, who is alone and on the run. And things only get more complicated when Roxy is followed by Dawn Hurley—the last person Ty expected to see back in Key West.

Thrust into a whirlwind of danger and mystery, the race is soon on to find the answers needed to ensure Roxy’s safety. But will Ty and Dawn find a way to put the past behind them? Or will opening their hearts be a risk too great to take?
