This fast-paced, sweet romance will have cuffed to your reader from the first chapter. Sofia Tompkins has had to go into hiding and change her entire life to escape a possessive ex. The last meeting between Sofia and her ex left Sofia broken in more than one way. His status as a police officer and his family’s reputation in the area makes it even more difficult for Sofia to feel safe. Sofia runs away and begins a new life under a new name. She lives looking over her shoulder for a year before he finds her. An eerie text message from him has resounding effects.

Theo Ellis was on his way to the gym to start working out after on the job injury left him on desk duty. Theo ran into a beautiful woman that won’t leave his mind. When Theo realizes where she was headed, he knows that he has a second chance to impress this mystery woman. Theo introduces himself and explains that he is a police detective, Tia states that she doesn’t trust the police and walks out of his life. Every protective and cop instinct tells Theo that Tia is in trouble and needs help but it won’t be easy to get her to let him in. A few days later, Theo happens to have an appointment at the holistic healing center where Tia works. Somehow he convinces Tia/Sofia to give him a chance.

When a second eerie text comes in while they are at dinner, Theo kicks plans into high gear. Soon, Tia finds herself living in Theo’s home and under his protection. Will she be able to trust another police officer to keep her safe? Can she fight her past to allow happiness with Theo?

Don’t blink! This book moves fast and hauls you along for the ride. The couple is steamy. The action non-stop. The book is un-put-downable!! I hope the author can keep this pace with the rest of the series!!
