I have no business getting serious with anyone. Especially a woman like Hailey-sharp-tongued stubborn and clearly not interested in me.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But every time I turn around there she is. In town running into me on a trail stranded on my family's property. I don't want to care but when she runs into the wrong kind of danger in the mountains I can't ignore it.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>She might not want a hero but I'm not the kind of man who will let her go it alone.</span></p><p></p><p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Hailey</em></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I came to Montana for me. For the chance to put myself back together after too many years with a man who made me feel small.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Wilder Noble's got trouble written all over him. He's exactly the kind of man I should avoid. He's used to getting what he wants but he's not getting me. Yet he's always there when I need him-offering a steady hand a calming voice and a disarming smile that makes it hard to breathe.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>When I cross paths with someone hiding in the woods I know I've stumbled onto something bigger than I can handle alone. Especially when my best friend goes missing.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Wilder is the only one who's there for me. The only one who believes that something is very very wrong in Bent Creek.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The one person I shouldn't trust might be the only one who can keep me safe.</span></p><p></p><p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Marybeth</em></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>It's been months since the trouble that plagued Bent Creek ended. My shop is doing well my best friend is expecting a baby and Gabe and I are finally making plans to move into his family's old ranch house.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Just as things are finally looking up a string of robberies sets the town on edge. When a woman disappears my brother Wilder is certain it's connected somehow.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>And when I dig a little deeper I find out he's right.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I've worked too hard to bring my family back together and I'm not about to let Wilder lose the one person who sees the best in him.</span></p><p></p>
