A USA Today bestseller!
A grumpy loner falls hard for a sunshiney, down on her luck dog lover with a dangerous secret in this small town romantic suspense filled with Claire Kingsley's signature suspense, endearing characters, heartwarming happily ever after, and bonus chapter annotations!
He’ll risk it all to protect her.
Audrey Young could totally handle the mess that is her life. Except she can’t get over the strange feeling of being watched.
It’s bad enough that she moved back to the small town of Tilikum, a place she could never call home. And her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven? That’s complicated. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but also intrigues her and makes her feel safe at moments when she needs it most.
The frustratingly hot girl next door is not Josiah Haven’s problem. Audrey is all sunshine, and her goofy dog isn’t any better. Josiah is too stoic. Too solitary. Too guarded. He doesn’t need a woman in his life, especially one who threatens to crack his heart wide open.
But the feeling of being watched is just the beginning for Audrey. Next thing she knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it, or why. Josiah is a protector and he can’t let Audrey’s troubles go unanswered, even if he has to risk everything—his life and his heart—to keep her safe.
