I’ve roamed the back roads of Embers Ridge since I was a kid, stirring up mischief and causing chaos like it was my job. Like many of my Coyote Ridge cousins, my hometown has dubbed me wild, untamable, even crazy at times. I wear those labels like badges of honor.
Speaking of badges…
Rhys Trevino, the county sheriff, has hovered on the periphery of my life for as long as I can remember. Our frequent run-ins are a testament to my untamed nature, but I suspect Rhys secretly enjoys our encounters as much as I do.
Enter Amy Smith, the plot twist I never saw coming. She not only lights a fire in my soul but also awakens my protective instincts. It’s obvious she’s fleeing something or someone, and with Rhys’s help, I’m on a mission to keep her safe.
Navigating this minefield of emotions is tricky, but once I’ve got Amy and Rhys in my orbit, I’m determined to hold on tight, no matter how bumpy the ride gets.
Publisher note: This title has been re-edited into first-person POV with a new cover. The underlying story is the same as the original.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nicole Edwards spends her days stringing words together to make complete sentences. Sometimes not. Her best friend is coffee, and she has a love/hate relationship with sarcasm. She’s been accused of having a filthy imagination, which she admits is true.
Nicole lives in the suburbs of Austin, Texas. She proudly claims one husband, three grown children, and two bosses (better known as the dogs). When she isn’t writing, watching football or hockey, or keeping her bosses happy, you can probably find her with a book in hand.
