A sexy crime novel featuring an alpha deputy sheriff. He must keep his burgeoning desire for a widowed school teacher from distracting him from his duty to protect a murdered DEA informant's kid brother from a death squad of hired mercenaries looking to tie up loose ends.

Fitz Monckton, Duke of Groveland, has never encountered a woman he can't seduce – until he clashes with the beautiful Rosalind St. Vincent, whose bookshop sits in the way of Fitz's lucrative development deal. If money won't entice Rosalind to sell her shop, Fitz must tempt her in other ways – hopefully mutually pleasurable, and profitable to them both.
