Book excerpt: A thrilling Coltons of Roaring Springs romance from New York Times bestselling author Cindy Dees. A single mom is under siege…and in danger of falling in love all over again… Detective Liam Kastor assumed he’d never see gorgeous Sloane Colton again after high school…right? So when the lovely lawyer suddenly shows up in town years later, Liam is floored. Newly divorced, Sloane is determined to make a life for herself and her toddler daughter. If only Sloane could forget past secrets and the fact that she’s being terrorized by her ex.
