Brand-New Heartache

HER HOMETOWN HERO

He was the boy from the wrong side of the tracks, but that hadn't stopped Wade Armstrong from wanting Edie Brand while they were in high school. Now she was back in town, and Wade felt compelled to keep her safe -- even if it meant moving in with her.

Edie's pretty face had always gotten her noticed, but now it had earned the former model the admiration of a stalker.

But as the stalker got closer to home, independent Edie had to entrust her life to Wade's protection -- and found herself surrendering her heart, as well.
