From Wall Street Journal bestselling author J. S. Scott.
Dante Sinclair never cared about his family’s money. All the young billionaire ever wanted was to be a cop; and now that he’s a homicide detective in Los Angeles, he’s a damn good one. But when he is injured and loses his partner in the line of duty, he returns to his vacation home in Amesport, Maine, to recover.
Sarah Baxter, a brilliant young doctor still struggling with her stifled upbringing, has recently moved from Chicago to sleepy Amesport to escape her past, hoping to find peace. When Sarah is assigned to Dante’s case, there’s an instant heat between them. They couldn’t possibly be more different, yet their igniting passion is impossible to ignore. As new feelings awaken within Sarah, her haunted past returns, threatening her once again. But can Dante overcome his grief and discover the secrets Sarah is hiding in time to protect and rescue her?

“Scott’s first traditionally published novel, linked to The Billionaire Christmas, is a little less explicit than her self-published work but has much tighter writing, with plenty of heat and tenderness. LA detective and billionaire Dante Sinclair, who loves to live in the moment, heads to his vacation house in Amesport, Maine, to recover from a shooting that injured him and killed his partner. Dr. Sarah Baxter, who mostly lives in her head, was raised by a demanding mother and graduated college at age sixteen. She moves to Amesport after being attacked in her Chicago hospital, hoping to finally have a normal life. Dante, the Booth to her Bones, encourages her to feel rather than think, swears to protect her while admiring her bravery, and introduces her to passionate, sweaty sex. The subplot involving the man who attacked Sarah meshes perfectly with the romance, making for a well-rounded story.”
