This big-city girl is ready for Serendipity.

But is Serendipity ready for her?

No sane woman breaks off an engagement to an extremely handsome, rich man, right? But Nicole Farnsworth is tired of being the good daughter, and she's sick of being her fiancé's arm-candy. So she flees to Serendipity. She can't think of a better place to find some peace and figure out what comes next.

"Next" shouldn't include falling for the man who once slapped handcuffs on her wrists-and unwittingly changed her life. But in this small town, fate and fortune make the decisions.

Sam Marsden trusts his instincts as a cop, but when it comes to love? Not so much. Back when he'd mistakenly arrested Nicole, she'd made his jaded heart beat faster and he thought she'd reciprocated. But she returned to her high-society life in NYC and slipped through his fingers. Since then, he's tried and failed to stop dreaming about the beautiful woman.

Now Nicole is back and it isn't long before they give in to the attraction that never stopped burning. But when the reason Nicole ran away from home catches up with her, it'll take every ounce of Sam's protective instincts to keep her safe.
