About This Book
HIS PARTNER'S WIDOW...
When intruders ransacked his dead partner's home, undercover cop Zach Stone knew where his duty lay. Widowed Elizabeth Healy and her baby daughter needed to be taken to safety. Then Zach would return -- alone, as always -- and track down the criminals.
But when a blizzard trapped Zach and Elizabeth at an inn together, Zach realized that despite the cold outside, Elizabeth was threatening him with a warmth he'd never known....
Zach's overbearing, take-charge attitude had rubbed Elizabeth all wrong. Now she was discovering that beneath his rough, street-smart exterior lurked a tender heart. But every time she reached out, he retreated behind a wall of stone. Could she ever teach him that, maybe this time, love had come to stay?
