A tense, opposites-attract Western romance where danger forces a hardened loner to become a fierce protector.

What it feels like

Reading this book feels like stepping into a rugged, high-stakes Western landscape where danger and romance are inextricably linked. The narrative moves at a brisk, suspenseful pace, driven by the urgency of a murder investigation and the constant threat of peril. It wraps the reader in a tense but deeply protective mood, leaning heavily into the classic trope of a hardened, emotionally guarded mercenary forced into close proximity with a sweet, traditional heroine. The prose is direct and action-oriented, perfectly suited to the gritty reality of witness protection while leaving plenty of room for simmering romantic tension. It is a deeply satisfying read for anyone who devours stories of reluctant attachment, where a solitary protector finds his walls crumbling under the pressure of keeping a vulnerable witness safe.

About the book

Mercenary by name and by nature, Carson is a Lakota Sioux who stays to himself and never keeps women around long enough for anything emotional to develop. Working with Cash Grier on a murder investigation provides Carson with the fun of shocking Cash's sweet-but-traditional secretary, Carlie Blair, with tales of his conquests. Then Carlie lands in deep trouble. She saw something she shouldn't have. Carlie is now the key piece of evidence in a high-profile murder case. And her only protection is Carson.
