Hiding Out in Water Creek
(2026)(A book in the Lawmen of Water Creek series)
A novel by Katie Mettner
The last place Water Creek Deputy Sheriff Cass Maverick expects trouble is on a quiet roadside at Christmas.
Stranded with a broken-down car and a story that doesn’t quite add up, ‘Deidre Larson’ is clearly running from something. Maverick’s instincts tell him she’s in trouble, so leaving her alone isn’t an option. He offers her a safe place to stay… and unknowingly invites danger to his door.
Because ‘Deidre’ is really Della Rose, a pawn in an arranged marriage to the son of a powerful furniture king. With whispers of illegal dealings tied to her family, Della flees, knowing the marriage may be one she doesn’t survive.
Now someone is hunting her.
As threats close in and empires fall, Maverick is determined to keep her safe even if it means going on the run at Christmastime. But with enemies tightening their grip and time running out, uncovering the truth could cost them everything.
Hiding Out in Water Creek delivers a pulse-pounding romantic suspense filled with a fiercely protective hero, a courageous heroine, and a love strong enough to defy danger, duty, and the past.
Inclusion: Heroine is a below-elbow amputee.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
