Ex-Cop Paxton "Tank" Sokolofski's life is shattered-first by a bullet, then by a woman. Now he passes his days tracking down cheating spouses. Not his idea of a good time. When Cori Transue moves in next door, things get a little more interesting. She's a sultry little firecracker, and the way she looks at him definitely gets his attention. However, he doesn't need a woman added to the mix, especially one with even more baggage than he has. But when he hears her screaming, he finds himself knee-deep in a mystery no cop could ignore…and closer to Cori than he'd like. Tank's weathered more than his fair share of broken hearts, broken dreams, and broken noses. But he doesn't know if he can handle Cori…or the brutal monster who's stalking her.
