A woman on the run. A dangerous past. A reclusive tracker who will stop at nothing to protect her. Palmer Lane has spent the last year looking over her shoulder, running from a man who refuses to let her go. When she stumbles upon an ad for a wife—a mail-order bride situation that screams last resort—she doesn’t hesitate. A remote mountain cabin with a stranger is better than the nightmare chasing her. Hudson Kane doesn’t want a wife. He just needs a woman’s name on the deed to keep his land. That’s the only reason he placed the ad. But the second he lays eyes on Palmer—delicate, wary, and far too beautiful for a man like him—his possessive instincts go into overdrive. She’s hiding something. He knows it. But when danger follows her into the wilds of Devil’s Peak, it doesn’t matter who she is or what she’s running from—she’s his now. And Hudson? He protects what’s his. 💎 A protective, growly mountain man 💎 A woman with a dangerous past 💎 Forced proximity & undeniable tension 💎 A love so fierce, he’d burn the world down to keep her safe
