Could a real home

Tempt this hero to stay?

As Horizon’s new police chief, Trey Douglas is determined to do right by this small South Carolina town. Even if he’s only here for a short while. But when his gruff attitude ruffles local feathers, buying his own home seems like a perfect gesture to win over his neighbors. And house-hunting with Lila Shepard—a sunny real estate agent and the retired chief’s daughter—is a bonus feature. As Trey shows Lila there’s more to him than rules and regulations, she convinces him there’s more to her hometown than chirpy hellos and summer picnics. Can Lila’s sunny disposition melt the ice around Trey’s heart and show him that he’s not looking for a house…but a home?
