Evan

I’ve built my life around two things: protecting my daughter, Skye, and serving Whiskey River as a detective. 

Love? It’s off the table. 

I can’t have both—it’s not fair to Skye, and I’ve already been burned once. 

But when Calista Stapleton—the woman I’ve wanted for as long as I can remember—comes back to Whiskey River, all my carefully built walls start to crack.

She’s my best friend’s sister, and she’s supposed to be off-limits. 

But when I’m injured on the job and she steps in to take care of me and Skye, it feels like she’s exactly where she’s meant to be.

Calista

I’ve spent the last decade pouring myself into everyone else—patients, family, responsibilities.

Now I’m back home, hoping to reconnect with my family and start fresh.

But Evan Greer is here, too—my little brother’s best friend, the man I’ve always tried to ignore. 

He’s strong, stubborn, and so fiercely protective of his daughter, it makes my heart ache. 

When he gets hurt, and my brother insists I move in to help him recover, the fragile line we’ve been balancing on starts to disappear. 

Every day with him and his daughter makes it harder to ignore the pull between us. 

But he’s my brother’s best friend, and if this falls apart, it won’t just be my heart on the line.
