The thing is, with my tattoos and piercings, a guy like me doesn't exactly fit in a town like Eden.Then I meet her.Sweet, innocent, single mom Jolene who does fit in Eden.At least on the outside.But after five minutes with the spirited beauty, I know she's like me… an outsider always looking in. Still, I need to remember to keep my hands to myself because Eden's just a dot on the map, a place I need to put in my rearview mirror sooner rather than later.Problem is, Jolene isn't the kind of woman you can just walk away from…JoleneIt was the date from hell that turned into something I never saw coming. One minute I'm fending off the unwanted advances of a guy who looks picture-perfect on paper, the next I'm pointing the barrel of my gun at the mysterious stranger who's decided I look like I need a helping hand.Zander is all kinds of wrong for me and the conservative, insular town I've called home my entire life. But something about the kindhearted tough guy makes me wonder if a little bit of wrong is exactly what I need right now…
