The police are in on it. That's the only explanation. But I am the police, and I've got my eye on them now. After wrapping up the biggest case of my career, I should feel...something. My small town doesn't see murder very often, so when all the pieces to find the perpetrator fall into place, it's a slam dunk to get this criminal off the streets. He's maintaining his innocence, but who wouldn't when faced with a murder charge?When my brother's best friend, Wesley Winters, is brought in by the defendant to clear his name and new evidence comes to light - evidence that was covered up - I have to consider the worst...maybe we did get the wrong guy. And when Scarlett Hart is being threatened, simply because of her association to me, it's up to me to keep her safe. And I won't let anyone or anything stop me from protecting Scarlett. If only I could protect my heart from her.
