Eva Dempsey is out of options. She's made it to Oak Creek, Wyoming with two traumatized dogs, twenty dollars, and a fear of damned near everything. Things that didn't make it with her? Her self-esteem, confidence, or any way of supporting herself. Theo Lindstrom knows how to survive. He proved it as a child when he had to keep himself and sister alive in the wilderness. Now he runs Linear Tactical, the company his adoptive father helped create, and teaches survival skills to others. So he recognizes the desperation in the eyes of the petite beauty who's pulled into town, and knows there's more to her story than she's letting on. He normally keeps to himself-for very good reasons-but he can't this time. Something about Eva draws him in a way he can't resist, even knowing she's got secrets. The deadly kind. When the danger she's running from shows up, Theo's not going to let her fight it alone. This is his town.This is his woman. And he'll protect both to his last breath.

Daniel Clark is the leader. The one who ensures everyone makes it out alive. He took that responsibility seriously when he and his team served in the Navy SEALs together, and he takes it seriously now at the Resting Warrior Ranch. When he and his men broke up the Riders-the vicious dogfighting gang who also kept some human captives-they got everyone to safety. Except for the woman who'd been caged-Emma. She disappeared into the night. So when she shows up in his tiny Montana town-in bad physical shape, begging not to be taken to the hospital-Daniel can't believe it. He does the only thing he can: brings her home. He's a warrior, not a caregiver, but he'll have to be both in this case. The people after her don't just want to put her in a cage this time. They want her dead. But if they want to get to Emma, they're going to have to go through Daniel. And that's not going to happen.
