Exhausted by the futility of her efforts against the city&rsquo;s endemic problems and the revolving door of violence in her Chicago emergency room, Dr. Miranda Campbell came home to Wishful, where she knew she could make a real difference in people&#39;s lives. Between her clinic, a rotation in the hospital&#39;s ER, volunteer work at the new women&#39;s shelter, and time spent with family and friends, her life is full. But it&#39;s not too full to notice a sexy lawman when she sees one.<br /><br />Former US Marshal Ethan Greer is still settling into the job as Wishful&#39;s new Chief of Police, but he&#39;s starting to realize it may be years before he&#39;ll ever be considered one of the locals. Fair enough. He&#39;s the first to admit that making the shift to small town policing is a big adjustment. After losing his marriage and almost his life in line of duty, the slow pace of Wishful is a change he&#39;s happy to make.<br /><br />While Miranda&#39;s and Ethan interest in each other is mutual, he&#39;s not sure about taking on a serious relationship. That&#39;s just fine with her. But when Miranda is targeted in an escalating chain of threatening events, Ethan&#39;s Marshal instincts go on overdrive. Miranda&#39;s rose-colored view of Wishful is putting her in danger. She&#39;s become more than a casual fling or a job responsibility. With Ethan&#39;s training screaming at him to put her in protective custody, can he find out who&#39;s behind the threats before he pushes Miranda away?
