Cowboy Brigade, Daddy Corps

A special agent is back in Texas to investigate a crime heartbreakingly close to home in the New York Times–bestselling author’s romantic suspense series.

Agent Wade Coltrane, ex-Army Special Forces, has returned home to Freedom, Texas, for his next assignment: infiltrate the Long K Ranch and bust the owner for attempted murder. The obstacle: Lindsay Kemp, his high school sweetheart—and his target’s granddaughter.

Wade didn’t expect Lindsay to still be living on the ranch—or to be a single mother every bit as beautiful and spirited as he remembered. Each day he spends undercover only intensifies his lingering desire for Lindsay and rouses his protective instincts. And he’ll need them, for there’s a killer on the ranch, and he’s set his vengeful sights on Lindsay. . . .
