He's the cowboy who just might save her... if she can learn to trust again.

"Ann Dunbar offers the best of both worlds for readers drawn to suspense or romance... a story that will keep readers on the edge of their seats."
— Readers' Favorite (5-Star Review)

Áine Walker had a picture-perfect life in New York... until the night it nearly got her killed.

With nowhere else to turn, she flees to her best friend's wedding on a Montana ranch, hoping the wide-open skies of Evanston will hide her from the past.

They won't.

The danger that chased her from the city didn't stay behind.

Jeb O'Neal is more than a rugged cowboy. He's a former Marine who knows how to read people... especially the ones who are running.

The moment he meets Áine, he sees the fear she's trying to hide. Quietly. Completely.

He decides she won't face this alone.

But letting Jeb in means telling the truth about everything she's been running from.

And the threat closing in on her is smarter... and closer... than either of them realizes.

As the danger escalates, Jeb will use everything he learned in the Marines to protect her.

Because this isn't just about survival anymore.

It's about a love worth fighting for.
