I came to Clover Ridge with a suitcase, a four-year-old, and a name that wasn't mine.
No past. No plan. Just a diner job, a rented room, and the kind of fear that follows you into sleep. I wasn't looking for anyone — especially not a man in leather with a scar through his eyebrow and eyes that saw everything I was trying to hide.
Jensen "Maverick" Hale doesn't ask questions. He just shows up — steady, quiet, immovable. He fixes my car without being asked. He makes my daughter laugh. He looks at me like I'm someone worth protecting, and I haven't felt that in years.
But the man I ran from is still looking. And the closer I get to Jensen, the more dangerous my secret becomes.
He says no one will touch us. He says it like a fact, not a promise.
I'm terrified to believe him.
But I'm more terrified of what happens if I don't.
