Kim can't believe that the new sheriff in town is none other than that jerk, Troy, who walked out on her without even a goodbye seven years ago. She's gone on with her life and is perfectly happy raising her little boy on her dad's farm. Even though she vows to have nothing to do with Troy now that he's back, she has to break her promise when a body shows up in the creek on her property. When the town's women keep turning up dead in the sleepy little town of Simple, Kansas, Troy realizes he's got more on his hands than he can handle. Things heat up when he and Kim join forces to solve the murders, and he makes a discovery that Kim tried to keep from him--a discovery that changes his life forever
