I built my life on control.
In court, I am sharp. Calm. Untouchable.
As an assistant district attorney in Willow Hill, I know how to face dangerous men and make sure they pay.
Then a dead man’s case lands back in my hands.
A missing file.
A threatening note.
A body tied to a secret no one wants uncovered.
And suddenly, every clue points closer to me.
The only person standing between me and whoever is trying to destroy my life is Dylan Cole.
Deputy Cole.
The man I should have kept at a distance.
The man who notices every lie I tell when I say I’m fine.
Dylan is steady, relentless, and dangerously protective. When someone gets too close, he takes me to his house for a few nights and makes one thing very clear.
No one gets to me without going through him first.
It is supposed to be temporary.
For safety.
But sleeping under Dylan Cole’s roof means wanting things I have no business wanting.
His hands on me.
His voice in the dark.
The way he looks at me like protecting me is not his duty.
It is personal.
Then the threats turn darker.
Someone knows about my grandmother.
About the identity stolen from me before I was old enough to remember it.
About the family secret someone is still willing to kill for.
And the closer Dylan gets, the more dangerous loving him becomes.
Because whoever is hunting me is not just trying to scare me.
He is trying to drag me back to the truth.
To the name I never knew was mine.
To the past that should have stayed buried.
I should have stayed away from Dylan Cole.
But when everything I know starts falling apart, his protection may be the only thing standing between me and a killer.
Her Deputy’s Protection is a steamy small-town romantic suspense featuring a protective deputy hero, a guarded assistant district attorney heroine, forced proximity, dangerous family secrets, high heat, and a love strong enough to survive the truth.
