In New York Times bestselling author Carla Cassidy’s latest thriller, a loner cowboy meets his match!
A man who keeps his secrets close to his chest, gruff rancher Brody Booth is used to things being complicated. The last thing he expects is for a beautiful woman to be his undoing. But Mandy Wright’s as unpredictable as the snowstorm that traps them together.
Mandy is independent and trusts no one. When it comes to relationships, she’s always the first to walk away. Letting Brody close enough to protect her from a killer feels strange—and thrilling. Having feelings for him is as risky as surrendering to the threat. Can she find a way to outrun danger and fall in love?
“I hope you don’t mind the candles. I always light a couple before I go to sleep.”
“I don’t mind,” he replied. Hell yes, he minded the candles that painted her face in beautiful shadows and light. Hell yes, he minded the candles that made the room feel so much smaller and much more intimate.
He walked over to the sofa and found a bed pillow and a soft, hot-pink blanket. He placed his gun on the coffee table, unfolded the blanket and then stretched out.
“Brody?”
“Yeah?” He answered without opening his eyes.
“Somehow, someway I’ll make this all up to you.”
Visions instantly exploded in his head, erotic visions of the two of them making love. He jerked his head to halt them. “You don’t have to make anything up to me.”
He couldn’t be her friend. She was too much of a temptation and he couldn’t be friends with a woman he wanted. He didn’t want to be friends with anyone.
He’d see her through this threat and then he had to walk away from her and never look back.
