He’s not looking for trouble… but it always finds him.

Fresh out of prison, former Army sniper Cade McBride just wants to keep his head down and rebuild his life at his father’s auto restoration shop. No drama. No distractions. Especially not the kind that comes with a flirty smile and a slow dance in a too-crowded bar.
Laney Hunt didn’t want to be out that night—but her best friend insists. One dance with a handsome stranger sparks something she thought was long gone—hope. Until he doesn’t call.

In a town like Gray Duck Grove, fate has a funny way of bringing people back around. When Cade and Laney cross paths again, he’s ready to explain. But before he can, danger steps in—and this time, it’s more than either of them bargained for. Cade must risk everything—including his freedom—to protect the one woman he never meant to fall for.
