“You’re my wife now,” he said. “And as my wife,” he continued, his voice lowering, “it’s my responsibility to keep you safe.”
After years spent running from a man who refuses to let her go, Amelia Stone has exhausted every place left to hide. With nowhere else to turn, she answers a mail-order bride advertisement and travels to a Wyoming ranch, hoping marriage will finally give her the safety she’s never had.
Instead, she discovers the advertisement was written by
two lonely children desperate for a mother—not by their widowed father.
And Cody Walker does not want a wife. Especially not one like her: stubborn, beautiful, and unafraid to challenge him at every turn.
He believes he buried his heart in the past.
But when Amelia’s dangerous past catches up with her, everything changes.
Protecting her becomes more important than anything he’s ever believed.
