Kate Davis heads to the small lake town of Deer Creek Falls for a clean slate and a chance to open her own coffee shop.
She is not prepared for the handsome newly elected sheriff who stops to help her at the side of the road, or for how easily Nick Reid gets under her skin.
Still determined not to risk her heart again, she follows a magazine's ten rules for keeping a guy in the friend zone and offers him nothing more than a friendship pact.
Nick takes his badge seriously and welcomes the boundary, until wanting more begins to outweigh the safety of staying friends.
With local gossips and meddling matchmakers watching every move, the line they drew may not last.
