Meet Ava, the badass bartender with a bad attitude, and Joe the cowboy bodyguard intent on saving his beloved from herself.
Ava Kellison is in trouble.
She’s been running for five years. Now her life is in danger. After witnessing crimes she should know nothing about, she needs help. She can’t go to the cops, and she can’t stay in New York. Alone and broken, her only option is to call the one person she can trust. The problem is, he’s 16,000 miles away in Thorn Creek, Texas.
Joe Richardson – Ava’s life-long friend, confident, and at one time – her lover, drops everything upon learning of her distress and goes to her aide. With the weight of her secrets bearing down on them, Joe takes her back to the family Ranch where the harrowing tale of Ava’s torment unfolds, revealing the extent of the danger she is in.
As time progresses, old feelings resurface. However, Ava is in a dark place, but Joe is a patient man. He’s waited five years to get his true love back and he isn’t going to give up easily.
The question is, can Joe’s unwavering love for Ava save her from the nightmares plaguing her, or will she reject his love and run away, again?
