Relocating his sprawling family to this small Texas town wasn't the career move Austin cop Luke Hollister planned. Especially when the case he's working involves one of Holly Heights's own. Just ask his new neighbour Jennifer Neil, the high school math teacher who's fiercely protective of her community and personal space.

Luke's here to serve, too. He's got a foster mom, siblings and little niece to keep safe. Yet the more he and Jen are thrown together, the more Luke wants to settle here for good–with the fiery redhead. But can he convince Jen to turn the dream house for one she's building into a real home?
