Maggie Myers lives with her toy poodle, Dammit, and is running from her ex-husband, David, who just got out of jail on parole. Coming from an abused marriage, she seems to run into trouble whether she likes it or not and that includes a mother with outrageous schemes she needs Maggie to help out with.

Matt Dillon is a widowed law officer and fits the expression, tall, dark and handsome to a tee. He has no idea he will be running into something and someone he never expected to encounter, Maggie Myers. She is not what he wants or needs right now, but he cannot resist her, especially as he is the new sheriff in town.

This is a story about a couple who want to start a new life, but they keep crossing paths wherever they go. Unexpectedly attracted against their will to each other, they cannot seem to stop bumping into each other -- nor do they want to. Suddenly the past comes to haunt Maggie when her ex-husband comes back and threatens her with violence, possibly her life. Can Matt save her before it is too late? Because his heart could not take losing another person he loves.

Sweet and poignant, this tale starts us off with a bang and continues as a rollercoaster of mixed emotions, bringing with it suspense, comedy, and a tale of lovers with haunted pasts. Till death do us part will never mean the same to you again in this suspenseful twist on marriage. You will be laughing, crying and even cringing on the edge of your seat as you read. We find that love, life, and all the physical wounds and emotional scars that come with it, carries us along as we follow this journey of embracing life, being able to let the past go, and bringing love back into wounded hearts for another shot at love.
