Clayton isn’t about to let her go and enlists his friends’ help to find her, hoping he isn’t too late to save the woman he’s fallen hard for.

Clayton Trebek doesn’t know what to make of the woman he finds sleeping in her car on his property. After ensuring she doesn’t need help, he thinks he’s seen the last of her until he catches sight of her around Mountain Bend after she said she was headed home. It’s not until she wanders into his club and shows signs of a submissive streak along with a wariness of answering personal questions that he suspects she’s dodging trouble.

Skye Anderson remembers nothing prior to rousing with a throbbing, bleeding head, a dead man sprawled on the bed next to her, and a woman claiming to be her best friend telling her he was her husband. Her blank memories send her fleeing the house in fear and she spends the next few weeks hanging around Mountain Bend. When there is no news about a murdered man, she grows more confused, and more drawn to the rancher intent on helping her.

Loneliness, worry, and fear draw her closer to Clayton, but the time comes when she has to return to the scene of the crime if she wants answers. Clayton isn’t about to let her go and enlists his friends’ help to find her, hoping he isn’t too late to save the woman he’s fallen hard for.

The metallic scent of blood roused her right before the painful throbbing across her forehead. With a sense of dread, she lifted a laden hand to her face and encountered something warm and sticky. Slowly, carefully, she forced her eyes open, a frisson of fear snaking down her spine when she saw her hand covered in blood. With a confused groan, she shifted her gaze across the carpeted floor where she lay, seeing the bottom of a dresser along the wall and then a man’s sneakered foot and jean-clad leg hanging over the side of the bed she was next to.

What the heck? Nothing made sense; nothing came to mind about where she was or what happened to her. As she struggled to rise, a door opened and closed somewhere near enough to reach her ears. Alarmed, confused, she stilled, listening to footsteps moving around and then coming closer.

Just as she managed to get to her feet, a young woman’s shocked voice drew her attention to the doorway.

“Oh my God, Skye! You didn’t. Please tell me you didn’t.”

Didn’t what? And who is Skye? Me? God help her, she didn’t know her name, let alone the pale-faced blonde gazing at her in shock with worry and concern etched on her unfamiliar face.

When he sees her struggling to focus and respond during a scene at his private club, he intervenes and finds himself as drawn to Lisa’s submissive nature as he is determined to unearth her secrets.

When it becomes obvious Shawn’s memory isn’t as acute as hers about that night, she keeps that fond memory to herself.

A threat against Lisa’s life forces the truth from her, but will Shawn’s protectiveness be enough to save her from a person so determined to see her dead? Shawn’s long ago vow to keep Lisa safe is put to the test as he works fast to make sure she hasn’t come into his life again just to be taken away by a madman.

He was the only man who made her heart pound and her pulse jump, but would his quest for vengeance destroy their chance for anything more?

Poppy Flynn gets bored easily, never staying with a job or relationship for long. After a year of cancer treatments, she’s in remission and ready for a change. Her new position as manager on an Idaho sheep ranch excites her as much as the neighboring, sexy, attitude-riddled rancher. Her encounters with Dakota Smith amuse her until he takes over her tour of his private club. Then, all she wants is more of him, any way she can get him.

Searching for the man Dakota Smith knows is responsible for his mother’s murder is his top priority, and he doesn’t have the time or patience for a relationship. So, why does he find himself concerned over one irritating redhead’s underweight appearance and the fatigue he sees on Poppy’s face when she pushes herself? Unable to resist getting involved, he vows nothing will keep him from avenging his mother, no matter how close he and Poppy become.

Thwarting an attempt on Poppy’s life shakes Dakota, but not as much as finally locating the man who killed his mother. Soon he’s forced to choose between honoring his vow of revenge or go to the only woman he’s ever loved when she needs him most.
