Well, the baby, anyway. The reputation he already had. It's why rich girl Audra fell for him in the first place. Now Audra's dead. His son, Brandon, is being raised by her family--good girl Lauren, the perfect daughter, and her uncompromising parents. But Harley's a self-made success down in California and he's ready to take responsibility for his son. And Harley Nelson's trouble. He's shown up at her door, saying he wants to get to know his son--ten years too late, in Lauren's opinion. Too bad he didn't stick by her sister, Audra, when he got her pregnant.

Between a rock and a hard place... To Sergeant Zeke Hayes, the expression has always been a non-factor.

Now he's sheltering Rayna in the remote wilderness from a fiend who now wants his pound of revenge flesh from her. Z's never done anything more right in his life. But wanting her? Dreaming of her beneath him, surrendering to his passion and domination?... Views: 50
