(2025)(The third book in the Alpha Protectors series)
A novel by Catalina Voss
Emma Rodriguez fled across the country with her eight-year-old son to escape her controlling ex-husband. Pine Lake, Minnesota was supposed to be their safe haven—until she meets the brooding former NHL star who coaches her son's hockey team.
Ryan Murphy is everything Emma should avoid. Intense. Protective. Completely off-limits as her professional colleague. But when Miguel lights up under Ryan's mentorship, Emma can't ignore the way this broken man is healing her broken family.
Their carefully controlled attraction explodes into something deeper when Emma's abusive ex-husband tracks them down, threatening to tear Miguel away through vicious legal warfare. David Rodriguez has money, connections, and a ruthless determination to reclaim what he considers his property.
Ryan has something more powerful: the fierce loyalty of a man who's found his purpose protecting the family he never knew he needed.
But loving Emma means risking everything Ryan has rebuilt since his career-ending injury. And Emma must choose between the safety of running again or trusting the alpha hero who's willing to fight her battles—even if it destroys his carefully constructed new life.
Some men protect their territory. Others protect their heart. But when the stakes are a mother's love and a child's future, Ryan Murphy will discover exactly what kind of man he really is.
In Pine Lake, family isn't just about blood—it's about who's willing to fight for you when everything falls apart.
Will their love survive the ultimate custody battle, or will Emma's past destroy the future they're desperate to build?
