About this ebook
Mara Ellis knows one thing with terrifying certainty: if Sheriff Victor Hale gets close to her infant son, she may lose everything. So she takes Noah and runs, carrying little more than a suitcase, a desperate plan, and secrets she cannot risk trusting to anyone. Then a brutal Kansas blizzard stops her escape cold. Stranded in Willow Creek with nowhere to stay, Mara turns to Mercer Protective Services and the last man she expects to need, Cole Mercer. A guarded professional who prefers solitude to complications, Cole offers her shelter for the night. But one night becomes several as the storm closes the roads and traps two wary strangers under the same roof. Cole can tell Mara is lying about where she is going and what she is running from. He also sees the fear she cannot hide. The more he protects her, the harder it becomes to ignore the attraction growing between them, or the unexpected bond forming between him and her baby. Mara wants to trust him, but one wrong confession could put Noah directly in danger. When the threat she fled begins closing in, shelter is no longer enough. Cole must decide how far he will go to protect a woman who has awakened everything he thought he had buried, while Mara must choose whether trusting him could finally save her or cost her the one person she cannot lose.
