Lifesaver. A Lantana Beach sweet read

Only by facing our past can we hope to change our future. Jamie Scott fled to Hodges, FL, a suburb of Lantana Beach, to escape an abusive husband. With hard work and generosity, she rebuilt her life in the adopted community that supported her during her darkest moments. Allowing herself no time for love, Jamie volunteers with a victims' advocacy group, discovering a purpose beyond her solitary, complacent life.
Her comfortable routine in place, Jamie finally feels safe until she is faced with a situation eerily similar to one she thought she'd left in the past. As a sheriff's deputy in Hodges, Cooper Ross has seen both the worst and the best of humanity. His bachelor lifestyle allows him to serve his community without the burden of a family. Even if he wanted to, his work doesn't allow time for dating, much less love.
Then a chance encounter with his reclusive, though alluring, neighbor forces him to reevaluate his ideas on love, and human nature. In the face of suspicions and danger, Jamie and Cooper must each overcome their own misguided notions of love and duty if they are to find what they didn't know they were looking for-each other.
