Two stubborn alphas. One murder. Zero chance they play nice.
A steamy, action-packed romantic thriller from Amazon bestseller Stella Marie Alden.
Sheriff Kade O’Malley knows something’s wrong. An ex-Navy hiker disappears on Vermont’s Long Trail, and the signs don’t add up. She’s trained, smart, and not the type to get lost.
Briana Gainsborough wanted peace and space to heal. She didn’t expect to be hunted. She didn’t expect to fall—hard—for the brooding local sheriff with scars of his own.
When she becomes the prime suspect in a murder case, everything changes. He’s the law. She’s the wild card. And one wrong move could cost them everything.
If they want to survive, they’ll have to trust each other— And face the heat neither of them saw coming.
Fans of small-town suspense, enemies-to-lovers chemistry, and protective heroes won’t be able to put this one down.
Stand-alone. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Happily ever after guaranteed.
