After years of being on the receiving end of her squeaky-clean preacher father’s abuse, she seizes an opportunity to leave it all behind and runs. Hennessy Hanes knows better than anyone not everything is always as it appears to be. The problem is that out-of-sight doesn’t necessarily mean out of mind, and it’s Tate who’s now haunted by his decision and memories of Hennessy. With the very real threat of jail time hanging over his head, Tate leaves without a backwards glance at the town or the girl.

Tate didn’t anticipate that someone else would be just as determined to keep Hennessy’s nightmare a secret, and he never realizes just how far that person is willing go to keep those skeletons in the closet until it’s too late. He may not be able put his finger on what it is, but he’s determined to find out what’s going on with the girl with the haunted eyes. The more he gets to know her, the more he realizes that something isn’t right. He knows he should stay away from the preacher’s daughter, but there’s something about her he’s drawn to, and he can’t resist the pull. One look at the sixteen-year-old, prim and proper town goody-two-shoes, Hennessy Hanes, and Tate Casey knows he’s in trouble. What they didn’t know, however, was that there were people behind the scenes that were working to keep them apart. The two of them have a lot of work to do to make this relationship succeed. One moment in time, and she finds herself falling for the man, lock, stock, and barrel. Vest… Then the unthinkable happens, and the sexy cop she can’t stop thinking about is there for her, giving her what she never knew she needed. She shouldn’t be thinking about the sexy biker with the voice that made shivers dance down her spine. God help her, but she was even in a relationship with another man. And when he walked into the same room? Words couldn’t explain.

Just the thought of Trance put a smile on her face. To My… Viddy couldn’t get the man out of her head. His life would chew her up and spit her out. She was too vulnerable somehow he had to convince his heart to let her go. Trance had been burned before by a woman that couldn’t handle the fact that he risked his life each and every time he went on shift. A heart that was so in love with Viddy Sheffield that it was humiliating.

You’re the Kevlar… Behind the badge and the pretty face was a heart.
