Single mother, Claire Thomas, left her husband back in Nevada, taking their 3 kids with her. Now, after 5 years of being on the run from him, constantly moving, always looking over her shoulder, wondering when he would find them, she finally decides to settle down, in the nice and quiet little town of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Hesitant at first about her decision, Claire's worries begin to ease as she pursues the career she's always wanted while getting to know all the friendly townspeople living there. Jimmy Conway, the town's loner. From her very first encounter with the man, her body immediately reacted to his. Given her past, getting involved with him was not such a good idea. Will Claire ignore the feelings he awoke inside her or will she surrender, allowing him to have her just for one night? Will Claire's ex find her and destroy all hope she has for living a happy, normal life without him? Jimmy Conway was once a respectable, happy-going family man, and a damn good police detective. Then, a few years ago, a tragic accident happened that changed his life forever, one that he has never been able to forgive himself for. He left his job, lives in solitude, barely comes out into town, and is stuck living with his guilt for the rest of his miserable life. He had accepted that. Then, Claire Thomas, moved into town and started stirring up feelings inside him again, feelings he swore to never feel again. As irresistibly tempting as she was, Jimmy resisted... at first. But, the more he came into contact with her, the harder it was for him to resist. Will Jimmy continue to live his life full of guilt and solitude? Or will he let Claire in, changing his life forever?
