Love is worth fighting for. Alexa Wolving has just one rule: never give a guy a second chance. That works just fine in the safe life she's built. In the charming town of Willowdale, her day job as a librarian balances perfectly with her evening job as a black belt instructor. But when she attracts the attention of a stalker, Alexa's carefully built world begins to crumble. Drew Cosimo knows he broke Alexa's heart five years ago when he took his first Ranger assignment and disappeared from her life. Now that he's out of the army, he's moving back home to Willowdale. He's not looking for a fight, but making peace would be easier if Alexa hadn't told the entire town he was a money-grubbing jerk. Despite the tension between them, Drew is quick to offer his protection when a stalker forces Alexa from her home. As the stalker's attacks escalate, Alexa and Drew are forced to face their painful past and the simmering attraction between them. They must fight to save each other before everything they care about goes up in flames.
