Soldier. Cowboy. And now…PROTECTOR. Cole Dawson, Leader of the special ops Delta North Team has come back from war to save his family’s ranch. When a short-term gig comes up supplying badly needed cash, he takes the job. But when he meets the closed off, buttoned-up erotica writer he's to bodyguard, his defenses collapse. He knows this woman, deep in his heart. And like it or not, he knows…he’ll go to the wall for her. He'll be her protector. Tabby Logan’s world has fallen apart. The accident stole so much from her.

The promise of unyielding devotion and security from the serious and resolute soldier is hard to turn down. But when a real future beckons, forces that are determined to ruin Dawson Ridges threaten everything they’ve built… \*This is book 1 of The Delta North Team 2-Volume Series Opener, The Miracle Duet.
