Some days I wish it had. Chronic pain keeps me up at night-when I don't drown it in beer. I lost my partner my career and the only reason I had to get up in the morning.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Until my brother drags me to a charity event and a sexy-as-sin reporter practically falls in my lap. We shouldn't start anything. I'm a broken-down has been and she's doing her damnedest to move back to Los Angeles. But when her latest scoop leads to death threats I'll do anything to keep her safe.</span></p><p></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)><em>Emi</em></strong></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Moving back to Austin was supposed to be temporary.

Not go on a date with a former Texas Ranger who has every right to hate me.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>I won't let a little danger keep me from the truth. But what if Jasper's the one who pays the price?</span></p><p></p>
