      Bestselling author Carla Cassidy brings in the Men of Wolf Creek to seek a missing woman

      Roxy Marcoli cares about three things—her restaurant, her sisters and her aunt Liz. When Liz disappears, she’s forced to turn to shameless playboy cop Steve Kincaid. Every time the sexy detective turns on the charm, he gets Roxy’s hackles up.

      Despite his reputation, Steve is no ladies’ man. His casual flirting hides the pain of an unbearable loss. As they search for clues, he discovers what lies beneath Roxy’s prickly exterior and sharp tongue. As his desire grows, so does his fear. Because it’s not just Aunt Liz the killer wants—but Roxy, too.

      “What did my mother say to you?”

      Roxy forced herself to look at Steve. “Your mother’s worried. She thinks you’re falling in love with me.”

      “I am.”

      Those two words turned her world topsy-turvy. “You can’t be. We said neither of us wanted a relationship.”

      “I didn’t think I was ready. I thought all my heart could hold was grief, but I was wrong. There’s space for you there, Roxy.”

      Roxy’s shoulders stiffened. “Don’t love me, Steve,” she said. “Your mother’s afraid I’ll break your heart, and I will if you love me.”

      “If you’re about to tell me that you don’t care about me, then I won’t believe you,” he said.

      “I do care about you,” she admitted. “I care about you more than I’ve ever cared about a man, but that doesn’t change the fact that I never intend to invite a man into my life.”

      “What are you afraid of, Roxy? Why are you so afraid to love…to be loved?”

      Men of Wolf Creek: Small-town lawmen charged with finding the lost...and uncovering true love.

      Dear Reader,

      Last year my husband and I got the opportunity to take a road trip through Pennsylvania, where we fell in love with the beauty of the countryside, the Amish settlements and chocolate.

      The Men of Wolf Creek series was born from the places we saw and the people we met. I’ve taken poetic license in many cases, but hopefully you’ll find these books filled with hot heroes, strong heroines and enough suspense to keep you on the edge of your chair.

      Thanks and happy reading!
