From a New York Times bestselling author, a Texas Ranger with a checkered past must choose between vengeance and family.
Crawford Hunt lost custody of his daughter after his wife died four years ago, following a downward spiral. Now that he's cleaned up his act, he wants her back. His family's fate lies in the hands of Judge Holly Spencer. Holly must prove herself worthy of a permanent judgeship on the cusp of an upcoming election. Every decision is high-stakes, and Holly is wary of Crawford's past–until he saves her from a masked gunman.
With the gunman still at large, Crawford uncovers a horrifying truth, leading him to seek vengeance and compromise his chance of regaining custody of his daughter. Now, Holly needs protection not only from an assassin, but from Crawford himself as a forbidden attraction grows between them.
Friction keeps you on the edge of your seat–it's a novel about the powerful ties that bind us to those we love and the secrets we keep to protect them.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Brown's highly recognizable brand of romantic suspense is on full display as the fates of rugged Texas Ranger Crawford Hunt and Judge Holly Spencer collide in the courtroom, in the bedroom, and in a desperate attempt to save reputations and lives. Crawford's hearing before Holly is to seek custody of his five-year-old daughter, Georgia, who's currently living with her late mother's parents, Grace and Joe Gilroy. A gunman interrupts the hearing at the Prentiss County Courthouse in Prentiss, Tex., by firing wildly, killing a bailiff. Crawford shields Holly and turns the attack into a chase that leads to the rooftop, where a sniper kills the gunman. In the aftermath, Joe warns Crawford that his "grandstanding" at the courthouse threatens his chances of winning custody, and Holly fears an enemy of hers will use the courthouse tragedy to discredit her. Things get worse for them both, complicated by their growing attraction to each other. Crawfordtries to protect Holly from those out to ruin her, but he's trapped by Sgt. Neal Lester, a senior detective, and Joe, who files a restraining order against him. Brown (Mean Streak) expertly ratchets up passion and danger as Crawford fights for his life, his daughter, and his new love.
