The SEAL and the Sheriff
(2026)(The fourth book in the Alaskan Guardians series)
A novel by Theresa Beachman
He enforces the law.
She is the law.
U.S. Marshal Hudson Kane doesn’t do attachments. A former Navy SEAL who built his career hunting the most dangerous men alive, he’s learned one brutal truth: the people who depend on him don’t always make it out.
Once, he was the man who never left anyone behind.
Until the mission that cost him a teammate—and left him with scarred lungs.
He doesn’t get attached.
He doesn’t stay.
And he never gives anyone a reason to depend on him.
He’s kept those rules for years.
Right up until he shows up in Sarah Meyer’s town.
Sheriff Sarah Meyer runs her corner of Alaska on her own terms, with zero patience for federal agents who think a badge outranks jurisdiction. She knows exactly how to handle men like Hudson Kane.
She’s had practice.
He’s her brother Wyatt’s best friend.
And once, years ago… almost something more.
She locked that door a long time ago.
But Hudson is keeping secrets about this case—secrets that are bleeding into Sarah’s home, her people, and her life.
When Sarah ends up in the crossfire, Hudson has to make a choice.
Protect his secrets.
Or protect her.
Some dangers you see coming.
He should have known she’d be the one he didn’t.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
