Publisher's Synopsis
Former Marine turned Sheriff, Ethan Briggs, has spent the last decade living by a solemn oath: to serve and protect. It's a promise etched into his soul, guiding every decision he makes in the quiet mountain town of Clear Creek, Colorado.
For him, there's no greater calling than to shield those he cares about. That's especially true when it comes to Bailey Scott. So, when the woman he once loved seeks refuge at Broken Halo Ranch, it awakens buried emotions, creating a yearning he thought he'd never feel again. As Bailey navigates the shadows of her past, under the watchful eye of her brother, Travis-a fellow Marine and Ethan's brother-in-arms, Ethan's sense of duty ignites with a fierce intensity. His resolve to shield her from harm knows no bounds. Travis's concerns for his sister clash with Ethan's determination to keep her close. Ethan knows he can rely on his brotherhood, but is he prepared to risk that bond to keep Bailey safe?
