For Beth Lindstrom, the rundown caf? she inherited in the small town of Lone Wolf was simply a means to an end. Selling it and moving on was the young widow's only hope of a fresh start for her and her five-year-old daughter-- though she doubted there was any place on earth they'd feel really safe ever again.

However, she hadn't counted on Joel McAllen getting under her skin. The handsome ex-cop seemed to sense that her past held a terrible secret that kept her on the run. But it wasn't until her husband's killer followed her to Texas that she realized she'd need to trust Joel with her life-- and her heart.

I only continued reading this story b/c it is apart of a challenge and b/c I did want to find out who the stalker was. The characters weren't engaging but pleasant.
