Skye is pulled over for speeding and has a purse full of unpaid tickets. Sheriff Nathan Thornton ends up handcuffing her and taking her to the station because Skye is being anything but cooperative. Owen, a friend of Skye's, pays the overdue tickets for her and the Sheriff lets her go with a warning. To show her appreciation Skye buys Owen some lottery tickets, one of which turns out to be a million dollar winner. When Owen insists Skye keep the money for herself, she decides to buy the Tivoli theater. Meanwhile, it seems every corner she turns, she's finding herself face-to-face with that uptight cop, studly-do-right, Nathan.

Though Skye and Nathan's relationship was not destined to work, that didn't seem to make the connection between them weaken or disappear. To Nathan, Skye is reckless, wild, unpredictable and just plain trouble; everything he's not. But Skye really gets to him and he can't quit thinking about her. Since losing his wife, Annie, in a car accident five years earlier, Nathan has given up on dreams. He has thrown himself into his work and erected walls to keep others out. Nathan battles his inner demons and his growing fascination with a belly-dancing bad girl. She's already made it through his front line of defense and is breaching his inner sanctum.

A fantastically enjoyable and sensually romantic novel. This book was just plain fun to read.
