A violent storm drives a mysterious woman onto the isolated Montana ranch owned by Silas Mercer-a man known for keeping to himself, protecting what's his, and asking no questions he doesn't want answered.
Injured, guarded, and clearly running from something, she should've disappeared the moment the weather cleared.
Instead, she stays.
And the longer she remains at Hollow Creek Ranch, the harder it becomes to ignore the dangerous tension building between them.
Because Silas Mercer isn't gentle.
He's controlled.
Quiet.
The kind of man who looks at her like he already knows every secret she's trying to hide.
But when her past finally catches up to her, Claire realizes the storm that brought her to the ranch was never the real danger.
Falling for Silas might be.
Especially when he starts making it terrifyingly clear he'll do anything to keep her safe.
Even if it destroys them both.
