As the black sheep of the Steele brood, Micki Steele craves one thing: the love of her family. Working as a hacker for a ruthless fixer, Micki has done things she'll never be proud of. When she flees Vegas and returns to her hometown, she brings along her boss’s secrets and plenty of danger. At least until he arrives in Steele Ridge, intent on hauling her back to Vegas—or burying her in North Carolina.
Former Green Beret and family friend Gage Barber has been Mr. Fix-It his entire life, but now a war wound leaves him struggling with simple tasks. And when the mysterious and sexy Micki shows up and pulls him into the middle of her family drama, his loyalty to the Steele family is tested. Although he’s sworn off his need to play hero, his undeniable attraction to Micki leaves him with only one option—convincing her to break free of her ruthless boss.
Torn over protecting the man she’s falling in love with and her yearning for a normal life, Micki must choose between staying trapped in Vegas or a life of freedom in Steele Ridge. Even if breaking free leads straight to heartbreak…and prison.
The long lost sibling returns as we visit Steel Ridge, NC again! If you’ve been following along in the series, you know that there was obviously something going on with the sister that was never around and rarely mentioned. Now we’re learning the secrets as Micki returns home with danger following right on her heals! She’s independent and sassy, and a force to be reckoned with! I loved that no matter what she has been through, and how tough she is, she’s still a soft, gentle soul when it comes to Gage.
Mikayla Steele left the comforts of her family home ten years ago to go work for a shady guy in Las Vegas. She’s rarely seen or heard from, and it’s like she just turned her back on the lot of them. When she shows up back in town unexpectedly, it’s time for some answers as her boss follows her home to get her and the secrets she knows back under his control.
Former Green Beret Gage Barber loves the Steele family like his own, so when he can tell Micki is keeping secrets from the moment he meets her, he tries to get to the bottom of it. When decade long secrets come to the surface, will he be able to figure out a way to keep her safe … and out of prison? And as feeling grow between the two of them, will Micki be able to hold strong and not be bullied into returning to Vegas even though she sees the damage it could do to Gage … and her family?
