“I enjoyed this book tremendously! Can’t wait for the next title in the series.”
“A read with good heart, full of emotions and second chances.”
Once you’ve been betrayed, trusting again is the scariest gamble of all.
Becca Pierson takes her vows seriously. So even when her husband’s secret gambling addiction shakes her world, she soldiers on, sure they can work things out. But reality soon proves otherwise, and she decides she must put their 10-year-old son David first and file for divorce. When a loan shark barges into her apartment and demands the little cash she has left, Becca takes David and flees 400 miles across Montana to the only place that will shelter them–Ragin’ Moon Refuge.
Tony Lascari’s family owns Ragin’ Moon, and he has seen many a broken woman pass through. He’s never been tempted, for he knows the baggage they carry. Life is so much easier when you only have yourself to worry about. But when Tony picks up Becca from the bus depot, he’s immediately drawn to the frightened young mother who brings out his instincts to protect. But with Becca’s future so uncertain, he knows their relationship must stay platonic.
Becca also feels the attraction, but needs to focus on protecting her son, which may entail fleeing again. There’s simply too much at stake to be distracted by Tony’s charm and rugged good looks. No matter how kind he is. No matter how safe he makes her feel.
Will she risk a second chance at love with Tony? Or will lingering regrets and apprehension about the future forever bind her to the present?
When justice turns personal, a juror becomes the target of revenge, and love becomes her only refuge.
When Lydia Bradford is selected as a juror in a high-profile trial, her tranquil life is thrown into chaos. Not only does the case force her to confront unsettling memories from her childhood, but she soon becomes the target of an elusive blackmailer who seeks to manipulate her verdict.
Feeling trapped and desperate, Lydia defies the blackmailer’s threats and turns to Luca Lascari, a dedicated state trooper assigned to provide security during the trial. But when her beloved Great Dane is kidnapped, the weight of her decision hits hard. She must navigate the perilous path ahead on her own, even if it means pushing away the protection and support offered by Luca.
As the stakes escalate, and the whisper of danger looms near, Lydia realizes she’s not just risking her safety–she’s also putting her chance at true love on the line.
Will she find the courage to confront her fears and seize the love that could change everything? Or will she become just another casualty in a fight that’s not her own?
