Avoiding trouble was always my plan.

Until he came crashing back into my life.

He's a rugged mountain man and ex-soldier with scars that run deep.

Lincoln Matthews isn't just broken—he's dangerous, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.

And now, fate has us working side by side.

But as I get to know him, I see the pain he hides behind those hardened eyes.

He's fighting his demons, and the closer we get, the more our chemistry ignites.

Just when I think I can trust him, his past returns with a vengeance.

Now, his enemies have me in their sights.

I want to run, but I need him more than ever.

Will he protect me or break me for good?
