Publisher's Synopsis
A wounded U.S. Marshal. A Princess in peril. And an enemy that refuses to back down.
Tucker Caine is scarred, gruff, and as rugged as the Colorado mountains.
He's made it painfully clear that I'm a thorn in his side.
Too bad neither of us has a choice.
And if he thinks I'll crumble under his scowls, he's in for a surprise.
Tuck's brooding blue eyes see through my defenses, stirring emotions I've spent my life hiding.
Yet he locks himself behind walls of rough edges and biting words, guarding his pain like a fortress.
Still, he can't hide the rare flickers of kindness that slip through-moments that melt my heart.
Each accidental brush of his hand and the low timber of his voice sends shivers down my spine.
But ruthless mercenaries are closing in, determined to destroy everything I hold dear.
And the secret I'm keeping could shatter the fragile trust we've built-and any chance at happily ever after.
He's my reluctant protector.
I wish he could be my forever.
