ON THE WAY TO A WEDDING...THEIR PLANE CRASHED

Lauren Abbot would have perished had it not been for handsome lawman Nick Strada. Though everyone claimed Nick had died in the crash, Lauren knew better. That hardheaded, sexy man had faked his death. And she'd never been so happy in her fortuitous life.

Nick was "playing dead" to catch a killer. And he needed Lauren's help. Her apartment would become his hiding place, and she would become his new partner. But Nick hadn't realized that working--and living--with the beautiful, independent woman would present him with a situation more confusing than his own supposed death.

Were they on the way to a wedding of their own?
