Sheriff Kolt Blackstone (Ozark Legacy Series: Book One): Romantic Thriller

By Patti Corbello Archer

TWO STRANGERS MEET

A runaway bride. An Army Ranger. Sunset on a secluded Biloxi beach. She was heading west for freedom. He was heading east on a mission. It was just an enchanting moment in time... Until their chemistry made it a one-night stand they'd never forget.

-Eight Years Later-

Private Investigator, Ember Devereaux, was on the run again. And at 29 she was gorgeous, tough, strong-willed, very, very rich, and blessed with a healthy wild streak. One that burned with memories of a tattooed Ranger and a secret he didn't know.

Two secrets actually. Twins born from their night in Biloxi. And that was the reason she was running this time. Danger had found her in Louisiana. Threatened the twins. And now he was coming closer. Footprint in her yard closer. A faceless, nameless Stalker who wanted what wasn't his to take. So Ember was doing the only thing she could. Running to Arkansas.

◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆

Deep in the Ozark Mountains, Army Ranger, Kolt Blackstone, was finally home. Out of the Army and ready to step into his family legacy as sheriff. It was time. And at 34-years old Kolt was the man for the job. Six foot three with wind whipped black hair, hazel eyes, and a hot, hard body with impressive skills, there wasn't anything he couldn't handle. That was just fact. But first... Coming home was all about Ember. That long ago night in Bilioxi wasn't over. He wanted her...and knew where to find her.

-The Villain-

The Stalker knew that Ember's safety was simply an illusion. Just a tiny flicker of fickleness in the mystery of life. She couldn't outrun him for long. And she couldn't avoid what she couldn't see until it was too late. He was already on his way to Arkansas.

And so it began...

Kolt & Ember's reunion was shockingly explosive. And from that moment on it was a wild journey of burning desire. Crumbling secrets. Deadly houses. Legacies. Legends. Sheriffs everywhere. Investigations, Intruders. Watchers and stalkers.

A thrilling story about the magic of unforgettable passion and the power of love. The depth of loyalty. And the grit of those that fight to protect.

Ozark Legacy Series.

A family of sheriffs.
