He fell in love with her at first sight that day in the parking lot. Unable to get her out of his mind, he decided she had to be his--like a prized possession. With her, he would never be cold. He would be whole. He would be alive. She was the answer. His approach to winning her over was a little bit Neanderthal, but it was the best he could come up with. And then without a trace, she was gone.

He spent several years searching for her but wasn't prepared to find a husband standing in his way. He thought he had covered his plans, intentions, and tracks when he eliminated the husband from the equation to claim his queen. But a moment of carelessness set him back--just slightly. Now at this secluded cabin getaway, he had taken the extra time to ensure his chance.

Would he finally have the passionate, dream-filled life he's longed for with his queen?

Hannah chose this secluded cabin as a place to finally release her grief of losing her husband, Daniel, nearly two years ago, and to reset her mind. But trying to rebuild her life and quiet her thoughts proved difficult, especially when her mind kept wandering to the sexy officer who was first on the scene of Daniel's fiery demise. He had been so kind and gentle when delivering the tragic news to her that night, and her body reminded her of his embrace daily.

Would this self-care getaway be the healing escape she hoped for, or would it become another nightmare in her life?
