Part of her mission is to fire Joe Welch, the sexy, stubborn farm manager who worked hard for the Haywoods while raising his children. But Joe refuses to be fired, and he and Alex clash. They also fall for each other—hard.

Now, the evil that lurks beneath Paradise County raises its gruesome head—and Alex is targeted as the next victim.
