Hawthorne Doesn't Forget

They said time heals everything.

Hawthorne never got the memo.

Five years ago, Ted Smith lost everything-his wife, his unborn child, and the badge that once defined him.

Now he lives alone on a quiet farm, far from the family he blames for the crash that ruined his life.

Until Clarie Bontempo shows up at his door.

She's the daughter of his enemy.
She's just survived a sniper's bullet.
And someone wants her dead.

The solution is impossible.

To protect her, Ted must marry her.

What starts as obligation turns into something neither of them can afford-because falling for the enemy might cost Ted the promises he made to the dead... and expose the secrets that destroyed them both.
