Ariana aka Anna is in hiding, awaiting trial to prosecute her mobster father where she is the key witness. Desperate to keep her safe, her handler sends her to stay with an old buddy, off the system since he believes there's a leak within his organization.Milo is a small town sheriff,who's on leave after he was injured in a shootout. He eagerly takes the job, not wanting to have nothing to do for a couple of weeks. Ariana and Milo's attraction sizzles from the start, even though the princess is already bad-mouthing him and the entire situation before they even meet. He needs to keep his head and his hands off her to do his job. She's just bored.Most of the time, I wanted to strangle them. Every time a wall crumbled between them, two more were erected. And oh man, Ariana, needed to have her head examined. She was one the most selfish heroine's I ever read. I understand her plight. I do. But you do not put others in danger because you were getting cabin fever.That said, the story moved at a nice pace, kept me interested, and the love that grew between these two was believable (when they allowed it to happen). That kept me reading and is the reason for a four star review.
