Tande Walker is swimming in love. Her brother met his soul mate, her best friend is engaged, and to top it all off, Tande has the town's biggest wedding to plan for. All she can focus on is the job she has to do to get Brent & DJ across the marital finish line.

But someone does not want this wedding to take place.

They've been getting veiled threats for weeks, but when a creepy gift shows up and shakes up everyone's nerves, Tande takes matters into her own hands. She's going to get the police to take her seriously if she has to take hostages to do it.

Marcus Edison has spent his whole adult life getting over Tande. She broke his heart, walked away from Somewhere, and put him in her rear-view. And for the brief moments he's allowed himself to hope she might come back, all she wants is a quick fling.

But he's not interested in flings anymore. And he's over Tande. Completely. At least, that's what he's told his family, friends, and coworkers. Not that they believe him. All it takes is one look at her, ready to mow down the whole Sheriff's Department, for him to get crazy on whoever is threatening her.

He'll do what he can to protect her, if she'll even let him, but when some of the threats start getting personal, he doesn't care if they're friends, benefits, or frenemies. He's sure he can let her walk away again, as long as she's alive...
