McCrae “Duval” King is as Texas as they come. A member of the not-so-rich branch of the King family, he’s spent his life riding and wrestling with his future. As a member of the newly formed San Antonio SWAT unit of the Texas Rangers, he knows that this was where he was meant to be.

He’s happy on the job. Helping keep the good people of Texas safe and sound fulfills him.
The rest of his life?
Meh.
His mother isn’t happy and she’s decided she’s going to throw every pretty girl she finds in her son’s path hoping something… rather some-one will stick.
But she should know that the only time Duval is okay with being told what to do is when he’s working with S.W.A.T.
Trying to get him to date or fall in love?
Ha! Not going to happen… like that.
Noelle Garcia has always been a quiet person. Her family and teachers always believed she was just a loner and maybe a little morbid. She never met a skeleton she didn’t like. Or become fascinated with.
If there was an anatomy display somewhere, she wanted to see it. And her anatomical drawings of skeletons weren’t just for Halloween. As she grew up as a person and artist, she knew that she’d never make a living with her art unless it was work in Biology text books. Until she was called to give a face to a skeleton to help the law.
Now one of the most sought after body reconstruction artists in the country, she’s pulled into an investigation with the Texas Rangers.
The man standing guard over her while she works?
The most exasperating man she’d ever met.
No matter how disturbing her job is, Noelle is… fascinating.
She might want to kick his ass, but neither of them can keep their hands off of each other.
For a woman whose whole life is centered around death, every moment with Duval, every clash of wills makes her feel more alive than she’s ever been.
The murderer that the Texas Rangers are trying to find wants to silence her before she can give the dead a voice.
Will Duval and his S.W.A.T. team be able to save her?
