Blue-collar landscaper Brett Walker has no interest in the Hollywood tourists flocking to his hometown in the California mountains. But the scarred ex-soldier does have a duty to protect Blue Arrow Lake—and the family ski resort—from a serial burglar. So when he suspects a break-in, he takes action . . . and ends up catching sinfully tempting down-on-her-luck heiress Angelica Rodriguez. She reminds him of trouble, but he can't deny her a safe place to stay—in one of his cabins.
Angelica has plenty of reasons to distrust men—losing her money to her father's legal woes being one of them. Getting up close and naughty with rough, tough and sexy Brett tempts her out of her comfort zone and into the arms of a man who's not from her wealthy world. She's after safety and he's chasing justice, but the fire between them might reveal that all they want is each other
"Ridgway's feel-good read, with its perfectly integrated, extremely hot, and well-crafted love scenes, is contemporary romance at its best." —Booklist.

A landscape architect at Blue Arrow Lake, Brett Walker knows that a little rich girl like Angelica Rodriguez, and a SoCal "flatlander" to boot, is the last thing he needs. But with Angelica's father's arrest for fraud and his theft of her personal funds, her situation has changed. When Brett learns that Angelica is living in her car, he has to get involved. Anticipation sizzles between them, and though they fight the chemistry, it's only a matter of time before they finally succumb. A string of puzzling burglaries and a sweet secondary romance add interest, while a number of characters from earlier books reappear to update their stories. VERDICT A pair of oddly matched protagonists lay some old ghosts to rest and find love in a steamy story that sees the eldest Walker sibling married. Ridgway (Make Me Lose Control) lives in Southern California.
