Calley Regan wants to get through her cousin's bridal shower without anyone discovering her secret—she's pregnant. Then the one person she confides in happens to tell the incredibly handsome, but seriously uptight, sheriff, Riley Owens—who's just given her a speeding ticket! But when a friend is murdered, she must trust someone to keep her and her unborn child safe. How can she trust the brooding, inflexible lawman when he's everything she's not? Riley Owens is instantly attracted to Calley Regan, but it won't come to anything. For years, he's lived mired in guilt, and carefree Calley is his polar opposite. But, when someone attacks Calley, Riley is determined to protect her no matter what it takes, and when her family deserts her, he takes Calley into his home. Years ago, he couldn't save the woman he loved. He's not about to let that happen again.

When he discovers she's the victim of a stalker, he feels God's intervention has led him—both as a cop and a preacher—to her.
