Tempting Fate

Captain Gideon Donovan has always known where the line is: protect Heartbreak Falls, and keep his hands off Wren Cooper. She's his best friend's sister, his sunshine on the worst days, and the one woman who could undo every wall he's spent years building. One reckless New Year's Eve kiss later, those walls are looking a lot less solid.

Wren is done waiting for a man who won't let himself want her. She has a farm to run, a town to charm, and zero patience for a brooding lawman who kisses like the world is ending, and then pretends nothing happened.

A new man in town offers a welcome distraction until he turns out to be something far more dangerous than a heartbreaker.

When Wren finds herself caught between a charming con man and a locked-down cop who'd rather take a bullet than say what he feels, Gideon has to decide what matters more—his rules or the woman he's been protecting himself from.
