Her Dirty Defender

One wild night, one ranch reunion—and this protective ex-soldier won’t let the sheriff’s stubborn daughter escape his sights again.

BECKETT

She was supposed to be a one-night distraction. A taste of something sweet before I moved on.

But Georgina Lucas left her mark—on my skin, in my head, deep in my bones.

Then I show up for a job at Havenridge Ranch and discover the girl who slipped out of my bed before sunrise is my new coworker. The sheriff’s daughter. And the woman I haven’t been able to stop thinking about.

She’s stubborn. Smart-mouthed. Impossible.

And mine.

I may be ex-military, but that doesn’t make me a good man. I’ve done things that don’t belong in the light, and George has far too much of it to be tangled up with someone like me.

But that doesn’t mean I’m letting her go.

She can keep me at arm’s length. She can pretend that night didn’t change everything. She can even try to run again.

This time, I’m not letting her get away.
