One moment changed everything... Evie Ward had everything she'd ever dreamed of. An action-packed job where no two shifts were ever the same, the best friend a girl could ever want, and a fairy tale wedding just days away. Her life was absolutely perfect. Until one bullet-one horrible choice-left her with a broken heart and shattered dreams. Fleeing the city she loved and a lifetime of memories, Evie took a job in the Outer Banks of North Carolina in the hopes that the ocean air and fresh beaches could somehow restore her soul. Falling in love again wasn't part of the plan. Landon Reed was on top of the world. The money, the women, the status-he had it all until one bad decision nearly cost him his life. His father gave him three months to get his act together or be cut off from the family fortune and business. No house, no job and no money. His will and his patience are tested further when his father hires a nurse to whip him into shape. She may be little but she's mean and it looks like Landon has finally met his match. With her shattered heart and his broken spirit, the road to recovery will be long. Can they help each other heal or will their fractured pasts be too much to overcome?

Four women taking back from the rich, like modern day female Robin Hoods.I'd lost my job, wrecked the car, and my husband couldn't get enough overtime at the police department to make a dent in the disaster that had become our lives. Yes, I was married to a cop, but we were one missed mortgage payment away from living in a cardboard box with our kids. My friends were barely better off.We planned every detail. It was supposed to be quick and easy. Get in, get the money, and run. Nothing could go wrong. Could it?

Law enforcement wives from across North America share communal advice, wisdom, experience, insight and laughter with fellow LEO wives.
