From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men series comes an irresistible and suspenseful romance between a tough Texas Ranger and his first love--a woman in danger who insists she doesn't need his protection.
Hill Gamble is a model lawman: cool and collected, with a confident swagger to boot. Too bad all that Texas charm hasn't gotten him anywhere in his personal life, especially since the only girl he ever loved has always been off-limits. But then Hill is assigned to investigate her father's mysterious death, and he's forced back to the town--and the woman--he left behind.
When Hill left Loveless, he broke Kody Lawton's already battered heart. And now that he's working on her father's case, avoiding him is impossible. She can handle Hill and her unwanted feelings--until he puts his life on the line to protect her. Suddenly, Kody realizes that Hill could be taken away from her...for good.

Voici un extrait :
As I stood in the doorway, I took in the bar. It had a
decent-size crowd considering it was a Tuesday night. The mix of patrons was as
eclectic as the decor. It was all very Kody. The building was an old barn, so
the interior had a lot of western elements, including old whiskey barrels for
tables. But there were also brightly colored artwork and neon signs brightening
up the space. Instead of the big lighting fixture in the middle of the bar
being made out of antlers or wrought iron, it was an intricate mix of colorful
glass beads. The whole thing was very country and western meets boho chic. The
people filling up the seats were mostly Loveless residents. They included the
guys gathered near the bar dressed in leather, covered in tattoos, and rocking
club colors. The Sons of Sorrow motorcycle club had moved into the hill country
on the outskirts of Loveless years after I’d left town. Now their flashy bikes and intimidating
presence were as commonplace as pickup trucks and horse trailers. It made sense
they liked Kody’s bar since it was
between town and their clubhouse, but I didn’t have to like it.
I really didn’t like the way the
large, dark-haired man leaning across the bar looked at Kody. I knew from Case
that Palmer “Shot”
Caldwell was the current president of the Texas branch of the club. I’d taken it upon myself to learn more about the man when he
ended up in the middle of the last case that brought me home. Shot was a former
marine, a decorated sniper, the son of the founder of the club, and someone
Kody was inexplicably close to. Everything about her relationship with the
biker set my teeth on edge and had me wanting to make a claim I had no right to
stake.
As I stepped forward, the heavy wooden door shut with a
bang behind me and drew the eyes of the people sitting closest to me. I saw a
couple of looks of recognition, and some people purposely looking away. I
nodded and touched the tip of my finger to the brim of my hat in a fairly
polite greeting. These people weren’t my friends. No one
in this town had tried to help my brother when he needed it the most, and I
would never forget that. Unlike the Lawton kids, I’d left Loveless in the rearview mirror and planned on never
looking back. All of my worst memories were here. So was the one person I
wanted more than anything but knew I could never have.
Under the dim bar lights, I met Kody’s gaze across the room. She looked pale. Her wild mane of
multicolored blond hair was messier than usual, and she appeared to be swaying
slightly every time she let go of her hold on the bar. Her eyes narrowed, and
at first, I thought she was giving me a dirty look, but the next instant her
entire body lurched and she toppled over, listing to the side and disappearing
behind the wide, long bar.
My heart stopped for a split second and I had to bite my
tongue to stop from screaming her name. I found myself in dangerous, deadly
situations due to my job, but I couldn’t recall a single instance when I had been as terrified as
I was in that moment Kody went down.
I heard the biker shout her name and was vaguely aware of
him kicking back his bar stool as he jumped to his feet. I was moving before I
had time to weigh whether it was a good idea. Kody didn’t like it when I was in her space. She’d told me she hated me and ordered me to leave her alone on
more than one occasion, but none of that stopped me from reaching the bar in
record time. It didn’t slow me down when
I planted a hand near the biker’s empty drink and
vaulted over the top of the bar.
I landed on the floor in front of Kody, ignoring the shouts
and commotion coming from all directions. I waved off the bartender hovering
uncertainly behind Kody and quietly asked, “Are you okay, Kody?”
The
answer was obvious when, instead of biting my head off, her big, bright-green
eyes flooded with tears and her shoulders started to shake with silent sobs.
Having people burst into tears as I was talking to them, was a pretty common
occurrence considering my line of work. I’d developed a natural immunity to tears of all kinds. But
not to Kody’s. Hearing her breath catch and watching her
eyelashes get spiky and damp as she struggled to hold the tears back made my
heart twist painfully in my chest
