Publisher Description
A gripping new novel of the West featuring the cowboys of Silver Creek by acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Lindsay McKenna, perfect for fans of the exciting novels of B.J. Daniels, Diana Palmer, and Delores Fossen.
Seeking an escape from her dark past, Carissa Taylor heads to Silver Creek to build a new life. For Cari, landing a job at a historic ranch just outside town is a dream come true, and a chance to put her beekeeping expertise to work. Not only does she feel at home in the ruggedly beautiful landscape, but she’s intensely drawn to rancher Chase Bishop, whose strong, steadfast nature quiets her unease. Maybe here she can finally be more than a hunted woman fleeing a vengeful killer—a man who’s been after her nearly all her life . . .
Chase didn’t dare open his heart again after losing his first love. Until Cari entered his life. Her gentle beauty and nurturing spirit call to him like no other. So when her enraged stepbrother breaks out of prison and comes prowling around Chase’s ranch, the former Marine goes into full protective mode, offering Cari the shelter of his home. But as the murderer’s deadly threats draw ever closer, suddenly Chase is calling on his own killer instincts, knowing he will stop at nothing to keep safe the woman who has captured his soul . . .
“Series fans will be thrilled.”

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
McKenna returns to scenic Wyoming in the fast-paced second Silver Creek romance (after Silver Creek Fire). San Francisco beekeeper Cari Taylor flees home when she learns that her stepbrother, Dirk, a convicted murderer, has escaped from prison and promised to come after her. She interviews for a beekeeping job at Silver Creek, Wyo.'s Three Bars Ranch, though she's reluctant to put anyone else in danger and discloses her fear of her brother to the ranch's handsome owner, Chase Bishop. But Chase, a former Marine sniper, is undaunted and promises to protect Cari for as long as she's in town. As Cari works to rebuild the ranch's hive, Chase is increasingly drawn to her caring and independent nature. When Dirk arrives in Silver Creek, Cari and Chase leave it to local law enforcement to track him while they head out of town to transport a red-tailed hawk to a Southern California raptor center. But danger finds them on the road when Chase and Cari are shot at by drug runners and Chase must employ his survivalist skills to keep them both safe. The slow-building romance is enhanced by the element of danger, the beauty of the land, and the tight bond of Silver Creek's community. Series fans will be thrilled.
Customer Reviews
Courage Under Fire
I enjoyed the story line, but skipped over sections as they were repetitive, talking more often than seemed needed about Matriarchal and Patriarchal ways. I agree with the thoughts in the book, but for me it took away from the flow of the story.
This book sucked
171. The number of pages I forced myself to read before I gave up. If you had rather read about every inner working of bee keeping rather than a relationship or plot to a story...then this book is for you. It was the worst book I’ve ever read and I actually paid 7.99. Save your money.
