Rugged Fox is a small town romantic suspense with a silver fox hero and a single mother who has given up on finding pleasure with anything other than her toys.

A new town. A new job. A new love?!

That last one certainly wasn't part of the plan. Retirement left me floundering and unsure how to adjust to civilian life. So when my former teammate called with an employment opportunity, I was eager to take him up on it. A security company in a small town, what could possibly go wrong?

A lot of things apparently. Starting with the fact that everyone was up in everyone else's business. So when my introduction with Kati Whitlock—a sexy single mother who was about to be our first client—takes a wild turn, the whole town knows about it within minutes.

Why did Easton Welch have to be ruggedly handsome?

I had enough on my plate. I was raising a teenage son on my own. I was an ER nurse with long crazy shifts and to top it all off, I had someone tormenting my life. Hiring the new security company was supposed to make life easier. Until Easton showed up on my doorstep. Now I had to add stay away from the attractive man to my list.

To make things worse, my past refused to stay where it belonged. With it now threatening my future, I will have to decide if I can trust another man with both my heart and my son.
