There really was a Garden of Eden

A personal relationship was strictly forbidden, but that didn’t stop Sergeant Abby Cross from wanting Sam Burke. She’d thought the FBI profiler cold and arrogant — until she worked with him, side by side, late into the nights on her town’s desperate search for two missing little girls.

Sam hid his emotions well, but beneath the surface Abby sensed his fierce determination to bring the innocent children home. Falling for Sam could cost her her reputation and career. She had to keep things cool between them. But emotional fires were blazing in Eden, Mississippi — and love was the ultimate temptation.
