Escaping Peril

She's running from a night she can't remember. He's determined to protect her from what she can't see coming.

Naomi King can't remember the night she was attacked and left for dead in New York City. Searching for healing, she leaves her successful career behind and finds new purpose at Refuge Cove, a women's shelter nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. But when a newborn baby suddenly needs protection, Naomi's decision to step in puts her directly in harm's way again-and forces her to face the truth her fractured memory has been hiding.

Sheriff Micah Sutherland has built his life around keeping others safe. He knows firsthand what it costs when you fail. Protecting Naomi is his duty. Getting close to her was never part of the plan. But as the threats escalate and danger closes in from every direction, Micah has to decide how much he's willing to risk-and whether the walls he's built are protecting him or just keeping out the one thing that might finally be worth the risk.

When enemies from the past refuse to stay buried, Naomi and Micah must trust each other with everything-their secrets, their safety, and the fragile hope that something good can still grow in the shadow of what they've survived.
