He was never hers to want. Now he’s the one thing she can’t stay away from.
Addie Kingsley never outgrew the habit of loving Talon McGraw. He was her big brother Silas’s best friend. Her shadowed childhood hero. The city boy her father took in and taught to rope, ride, and tend cattle. The boy who let her trail after them no matter how close she followed—who gave her the nickname Tagalong and never once told her to go home—until the day he left town.
After ten years as an Army Ranger, Talon returns to Clear Water Ranch a different man—wounded, hardened, and carrying scars he won’t explain. He takes up residence in a remote hunting cabin and makes one thing clear: he doesn’t want to be found.
Addie should respect that. She should listen to her brother. She should stay far away from the man who has always been off-limits. But she can’t. Because behind Talon’s silence is something darker than pain—something that isolates him, consumes him, and calls to every part of her that’s loved him for years.
Talon knows better than to let her close. Silas would never allow it. And more than that, Talon doesn’t trust himself with her. Not now. Not like this. But Addie isn’t the girl he left behind. She’s stronger. Braver. And far too determined to walk away from him. And when she finally steps into his solitude, refusing to be shut out, the line Talon has held for years begins to fracture. Because wanting her was always dangerous. Now it might be inevitable. And if he gives in—if he lets her see the man he’s become—he risks losing the only family he'''s ever had. But walking away from her might cost him everything he is.
Because the moment he gives in, there’s no going back—not for him, not for her, and not for the loving family that took him in. Get your copy now and discover what happens when desire finally outweighs loyalty.
