I was born to be a protector, and Jacob was born to be mine.
As a marine, I followed my gut and defied orders.
I was left with a stain on my record and nowhere to go until an old friend pulled me back into the world of organized crime.
Paradise Ranch is my home now, but my life is far from easy. It’s filled with dangerous men, threats to those I care for, and enemies who’d like to bring my entire operation down.
I don’t have time for a relationship, but when a scared young man comes to me for help, I can’t say no. I also can’t keep my hands off him. How can we make time for our tender feelings, when danger lurks everywhere we go?
