Courage Under Fire

Cari Taylor arrives in Silver Creek hoping to leave a troubled history behind and start over. She takes a job at an old ranch on the edge of town, where her knowledge of beekeeping finds real use, and the open, rugged country begins to feel like home.

She is also drawn to rancher Chase Bishop, whose steady, dependable manner calms the fear she carries. Chase has kept his heart guarded since losing the woman he once loved, but Cari's gentleness and caring nature are slowly reaching him. The past she is fleeing has not let go of her, though. A man has hunted her for most of her life, and he is determined to find her.

When her stepbrother escapes from prison and turns up near Chase's property, the former Marine insists she stay under his roof where he can protect her. As the threats close in, Chase must draw on a darker, more dangerous side of himself to keep the woman he has come to love safe.

Lindsay McKenna, a New York Times bestselling author, sets this romantic suspense novel among the cowboys of Silver Creek.
