Synopsis
Enemies on paper. Something else in the dark. Regan Hill does not need a bodyguard. She needs a stronger lock. A loaded shotgun. Maybe a new town. Her true-crime podcast helped put a corrupt Montana sheriff behind bars-and put a target on her back from the Canon Outlaws Motorcycle Gang. Now they want payback, and they're coming for her and her bar. She refuses to run, refuses to hide. She refuses to need anyone. Until the threats turn real-and it's not just her life on the line. It's her mother's, too. Clive "CB" Briggs is a former Army Ranger turned Shadow Point Security operative-quiet, lethal, and infuriatingly controlled. He's also the nephew of the man Regan put behind bars. CB was born into the Outlaws-once their golden boy, once destined for the throne he never wanted. He should hate her. He should walk away. Instead, he plants himself behind her bar like he owns the place-watching the doors, watching her, stepping a little too close when danger breathes down her neck. But if Regan keeps digging, she won't just expose corruption... She'll expose his family. In a town where everyone knows your name-and your sins-Regan and CB are forced into close quarters, an unwanted dependence, and an attraction neither can deny. He's the last person she should trust. When the Outlaws come calling, will he protect her...or deliver her to them?
