Defending His Hope

<p><strong>Wyatt</strong></p><p>I'm no hero. Don't much care that the Navy disagrees with me. My years as a SEAL left me with a ledger full of blood a permanent limp and a complete inability to function in <em>polite</em> society. Up in the mountains no one bothers me. Hell no one even knows I exist. It's better that way.</p><p>So why did I bring the beaten and bloodied woman back to my cabin?</p><p>Because when I found her trapped in an SUV hanging upside down at the edge of the cliff she whispered three words I couldn't ignore.</p><p><strong><em>He'll kill me.</em></strong></p><p>No he won't darlin'. Because anyone coming for you? They'll have to go through me. No one messes with a SEAL and survives.</p><p><strong>Hope</strong></p><p>I fell for the wrong man. He trapped me. Beat me. Destroyed me. After three years of hell I find the courage to escape. But he won't let me go. His men chase me force me off the road and almost kill me.</p><p>When a stranger comes to my rescue he asks me to trust him. Wyatt is gruff overprotective but surprisingly tender. Can a bearded reclusive mountain man be my salvation? Or will the horrors of my past destroy us both?</p>
