In Times of Trouble by Paul Sande

Heather Parlow is a veterinary assistant with a proclivity for flawed men, but this time it could prove deadly. She falls for an independent gym owner amidst a scandal that soils his reputation and shakes their idyllic Connecticut small town. Heather must decide whether to risk her life for the man she loves but fears she cannot trust, or to let him — and her chance at true love — go forever.
