A cop and a mafia-connected criminal are forced to hide out together on a Montana ranch — rules be damned.
Description
Examples of things I shouldn't be doing:1. Staring at how nicely Evan Walker fills out his Wranglers.2. Sneaking around after dark, hoping we don’t get caught.3. Fantasizing about a life with a man who isn’t supposed to exist.He’s a criminal, a dangerous man with connections to the Chicago mafia.And I'm a cop.Now we’re stuck hiding out in this quirky small town, and my eyes have a way of wandering.So do his hands.But the rules are clear––no connections to your former life. Ever.We can’t afford to give into temptation. I’m only here on this Montana ranch until I can safely return to my job–and the promotion I’ve worked so hard for. And he’s only here to keep his little sister safe.But as we’re forced to work together, I find that Evan is much more than I ever expected. He’s strong, hard-working.Did I mention the Wranglers?We’re drawn to each other in ways that are completely hopeless. I know I shouldn’t give in to his hot, smoldering looks or the way his lingering touch lights me up. It’s reckless.Addictive.I can hide it, but the truth always has a way of coming out. In Tipp, Montana, secrets can save your life. The only cost is your heart.
