Jennifer Baptiste crossed a dangerous line when she exposed the powerful Amir family's plot to kidnap a child. In witness protection, she discovers safety is an illusion when mercenaries are dispatched with one order—find her and silence her permanently.
Former military operative Noah Temple reluctantly becomes Jennifer's bodyguard. After two failed attempts on her life, he whisks her away from New Orleans to his remote Tennessee mountain cabin—an ideally defensible position where he can guard her and train her to protect herself.
As the walls between protector and witness crumble, their growing attraction complicates an already perilous situation. When mercenaries track them to their mountain sanctuary, Jennifer and Noah are thrust into a desperate fight for survival.
With court testimony looming and killers closing in, Noah must use every skill to keep her alive, Jennifer must decide if redemption is worth the cost—and both discover protecting their hearts may be the greatest battle of all.
USA Today Bestselling author Kathy Ivan spent most of her life with her nose between the pages of a book. From best-selling authors to just-getting-started writers, as long as it was a good story, she devoured it and happily searched for the next romance novel. Kathy turned her love of reading into the next logical step, writing. Kathy tells stories people love from reuniting old loves, betrayal of trust, finding kidnapped children, psychics and even a ghost or two. But one thing they all have in common - love). Happily living in North Texas, she's always on the lookout for a cowboy of her very own. (And if he's a billionaire cowboy, well, she won't say no to that.)
