BLURB
One wild night, one ranch reunion—this protective ex-soldier won’t let the sheriff’s stubborn daughter escape his sights again.
Beckett
She was supposed to be a one-night distraction. A taste of something sweet before I moved on.
But George Hayes left her mark—on my skin, in my head, and deep in my bones. And when I show up for a job at Rider Ridge, I find out she’s not just the girl who got away—she’s my new coworker. The sheriff’s daughter. And the woman I haven’t been able to stop thinking about since she slipped out of my bed before sunrise.
She’s stubborn. Smart-mouthed. Impossible.
And mine.
I may be ex-military, but that doesn’t make me a good man. I’ve done things—things I don’t regret, but things that don’t belong in the light. George? She has too much light in her to be tangled up with someone like me.
But that doesn’t mean I’ll let her go.
She thinks she can keep me at arm’s length, that I’ll let her pretend that night didn’t change everything. But I see the way she looks at me when she thinks I’m not watching. And I’m done pretending.
She can fight this all she wants. But I know one thing for damn sure—she’s not running from me again.
