She ran to save her life.
Now the man she once betrayed is her only hope.Home to both the Resting Warrior Ranch and Pawsitive Connections, Garnet Bend, Montana is a small town full of big heroes. Anyone would want to live there.
Anybody but Piper Matthews.
She swore she’d never come back after what her father did to the town and what she did to Sheriff Lachlan Calloway. But desperation has a way of rewriting promises. With a baby in her arms and nowhere left to run, Piper returns to the only place that ever felt like home.
Lachlan never expected to see Piper again—especially not with a child that has his eyes. The woman who once disappeared without a word is now sleeping under his roof, guarding more secrets than she’s willing to share.
She says she’s done running. But Piper’s past is closing in fast—and it’s darker, more dangerous, and more tangled up in Lachlan’s world than he could ever imagine.
In a town built on quiet loyalty and buried lies, the truth is about to break everything wide open.
Drama filled and action packed! The next book in the Resting Warrior Ranch series centers around Sheriff Lachlan. There wasn’t a lot to be seen in any great degree of the Resting Warrior folks this time, but the story was enthralling enough all on it’s own to hold my attention. I liked Lachlan and Piper both and was rooting for them from the start, but she was a a bit of a hard pill to swallow once we learn the true depth of her secrets. There were several holes in the plot that would have made for a more fulfilling story had they been developed on (such as where was her mom? what was his background? what was program that is mentioned at the end of the story?), but overall I enjoyed them. Lots of suspense, danger and treachery to sink your teeth into.
I highly recommend this series as a whole to anyone that enjoys former military/law enforcement guys that form a bond with each other and set out to keep their loved ones and the town they settled in safe.
