Falling for the silver fox police chief was never part of my escape plan... but neither was one night on a bookshop floor that wrecked me for anyone else.
It started with a car crash.
It ended with his hands on my skin and a voice in my ear that said I've got you — and God help me, I believed him.
Garrett Cole is everything I can't afford to want.
Widowed. Guarded. Older.
The kind of man who carries guilt like armor and reads my lies like they're written on my face.
But when those steady, scarred hands pin me against a door like I'm the only thing holding him together, I forget I'm supposed to be invisible.
We're stolen moments and borrowed time.
He's safety, and I'm the woman who brought danger to his doorstep.
I fell first. Somewhere between his crossword puzzles and the way he looked at me like I was worth protecting, I fell so hard I forgot I was running.
Just when I start to believe a girl with no name could build a life in this town, the men I'm hiding from find me.
Now the man who makes me feel seen is standing between me and a bullet — and his fifteen-year-old daughter is calling me family.
Staying might get him killed.
But leaving? That would end me.
He's my shelter in the storm... and the storm is here.
