Kerrigan Loser learned long ago that fading into the background was safer than being seen.
When she joins the Serenity Team in Texas, the handsome new team member, Alek Foster, makes her want a future she stopped believing in.
Alek doesn’t trust love, not after the violence and betrayal that shattered his family.
When his sister Rachel calls for help, he drops everything and comes to Texas, ready to do anything to protect her. There he meets Kerrigan, an intelligent, witty, and quiet woman. She should be easy to dismiss. Instead, she slips past Alek’s defenses, making him want things he swore he’d never need.
After Rachel and Kerrigan vanish, Alek is forced into a race where every second might cost him the sister he swore to save and the woman who may be his only chance at love. Will he earn Kerrigan’s trust and tear down the walls she built around her heart?
