Winslow Covington believes in life, liberty and the letter of the law. As Quincy, Montana's new chief of police, she's determined to prove herself to the community and show them she didn't earn her position because her grandfather is the mayor. According to her pops, all she has to do is earn favor with the Edens. But winning over the town's founding family might have been easier if not for her one-night stand with their oldest son. In her defense, it was her first night in town and she didn't realize that the rugged and charming man who wooed her into bed was Quincy royalty. Sleeping with Griffin Eden was a huge mistake, one she's trying to forget. He's insufferable, arrogant and keeps reminding everyone that she's an outsider. Winslow does her best to avoid Griffin, but when a woman is found dead on Eden property, the two of them have no choice but to cross paths. As clues to the murderer lead to one of Quincy's own, Griffin realizes Winslow is more than he gave her credit for. Beautiful and intelligent, she proves hard to resist. For him. And the killer.

After DNFing the copper farmhouse because I hated our hero, I am happy to say I really enjoyed this book!!
I watched an interview with the author where she recommended we start with this serious and she mentioned it had a strong suspense element which I loved! It's so hard to find good romantic suspense that balances both so well and this one was fantastic. I can tell this author loves Nora Roberts—like me :).
I look forward to reading more in the series! This book is available on KU for now
I loved the romance, mystery, and town. It was a perfect set up for the next books. I enjoyed the epilogue even had duel POV's! Which is rare!
The tension between Winslow and Griffin in the very first chapter literally gave me butterflies in my stomach. I loved their relationship and I especially loved the plot, it's not often we get to read about a woman in such a high position, it was something new and I really enjoyed it.
Winnie was very hardworking and smart, I loved the way she didn't back down from those who tried to undermine her and when she put Griff in his place for acting like a neanderthal. She was also very compassionate, the way she handled Melinda was very sweet.
Griffin was great, besides the whole “women are too much work to form relationships with and i'm too busy for that but i'll gladly fuck them” thing, but other than that I liked how kind and caring he was and not just with Winnie, but with the rest of his family too.
With that being said and even though I did enjoy their relationship, I did feel as if something was missing and it was a little bland, they started out strong but then slowly fizzled out. The mystery aspect of the plot did a lot of heavy lifting and without it I highly doubt I would have enjoyed it as much.
