Anna Maeve

When 19 year old Jordyn Hayes arrives in the small Texas town of Willow Creek, she's looking to disappear and not be found. Scarred by a loveless childhood and abusive father, she doesn't believe in happy endings or anyone sticking around. But then she meets Dustin Walker, a 27 year old army veteran with kind eyes, calloused hands, and a heart full of hope.

Dustin knows the moment he sees her that she's the one. But Jordyn has walls even combat couldn't prepare him for. As summer heats up, so does their connection -- gentle, slow-burning, and more real than anything Jordyn has ever known.

But love doesn't come easy. And sometimes, it takes a little patience, a lot of courage, and the wide-open sky to show someone they're worth loving.

She trains killers on four legs.
He rules them on two.
When Anika's protection dogs are used in a brutal attack, her only lead drags her into the crosshairs of Nikolai Volkov—the ruthless Bratva king who sees everything she hides.
She's armed, guarded, and dangerous.
He's worse.
In this dark romance of power, loyalty, and obsession, control is an illusion… and falling might be the most dangerous move of all.
