Cassie Cartright wasn't planning to stay in Rescue Ridge. The small Texas town was just another stop on a long road of secrets and survival—until Hudson Sturgess stepped into her path. The brooding rancher is the kind of man who sees too much, asks too many questions, and has the uncanny ability to make Cassie want to trust him.

Hudson knows trouble when he sees it, and Cassie is the definition of complicated. But from the moment she blows into town, something about her pulls at him in ways he can't explain—and doesn't want to fight. When Cassie's past comes calling, bringing danger right to her doorstep, Hudson vows to stand between her and the ghosts that have chased her far too long.

She wasn't supposed to stay. He wasn't supposed to fall. But in Rescue Ridge, love is never simple—and sometimes, it's exactly what saves you.
