Everyone knows Mason Clarence as the intimidating cop with the short temper, the sharp tongue, and the attitude that keeps people at a distance. But Evelina knows the man nobody else gets to see. She’s the soft-spoken ICU nurse with freckles, little bows, and a heart too gentle for her own good—and she’s been his since they were sixteen. Now, six years into their marriage, Evelina is two months pregnant with their first baby. While she’s busy taking care of everyone else, Mason has made it his personal mission to make sure someone takes care of her. Because behind the tough cop everyone fears is a husband who would do absolutely anything for the woman he loves.
