Book Overview
She came to earn an inheritance. She never expected to need a protector.
Harper Bennett thought six months at Silver Creek Ranch would be the hardest part of claiming her family's Texas ranch. She was wrong. The nightmare she'd been running from has followed her, and the stalker who's obsessed with her is closer than ever.
Former Special Forces soldier Ryan Mercer came to Silver Creek looking for peace, not another mission. But when he realizes Harper is the true target behind a series of escalating "accidents," every instinct he's spent years trying to bury comes roaring back.
As danger closes in, Ryan will do whatever it takes to keep Harper alive—even if it means risking his own heart. Together they'll face a relentless enemy, confront the scars of their pasts, and discover that sometimes the safest place isn't behind locked doors…it's in the arms of the person willing to fight for you.
A gripping interracial cowboy romance filled with suspense, healing, sizzling chemistry, and a hero who will stop at nothing to protect the woman he loves.
