Summary

A female cop finds love and healing with a wounded marine who protects her from a stalker in this romantic suspense from a USA Today–bestselling author. 
 
Maggie Wheeler never stopped looking over her shoulder. It was a habit she’d learned from being a cop—and from a devastating event in her past. So when John Murdock moved in next door, Maggie didn’t know what to make of the sexy marine. But once her son formed a bond with the mysterious stranger, Maggie knew that past might not remain hidden much longer. 
 
With his unwavering sense of duty, John would never let a call for help go unanswered. Especially from the beautiful wounded warrior who refused to give up her secrets. Although she likely knew more about who was after her than she’d ever let on, John vowed to protect those in need. Only then could he find peace, maybe even a door away.
