Listing Details
Sullivan 'Sully' Clarke is the sheriff of Bareglen Creek, Texas, a town where danger lurks around every corner. With years of experience under his belt, Sully has faced some of the most challenging cases of his career, but none quite like the one he's about to embark on. When he's informed that he's been 'hired' to protect a socialite arriving from Philadelphia, he knows it's going to be one of the most dangerous and challenging manhunts of his career - maybe even the decade. Despite having little time or interest in the task at hand, Sully soon learns that her father's influence reaches far and wide, leaving him with no choice but to take on the job. Claire is a strong-willed, independent woman with a mission. She's traveling from Philadelphia to Bareglen Creek with two purposes: to comfort her sister after the recent loss of her husband and convince her sister and brother to return home to Philadelphia - where they belong. Claire's also running from a proposal from Edward Woodbury, one of the most sought-after bachelors in Philadelphia - well, sought after by every woman but her, that is. Sully has preconceived notions about Claire and is annoyed that he's been tasked with protecting her. However, as soon as Claire arrives, he finds himself creating a list of all the things he admires about her, and he's surprised by the fact he wants to get to know her better. He wants to add more items to the ever-growing list of things he admires, but she'll leave Bareglen Creek in less than four weeks unless he can give her a reason to stay. Claire finds herself intrigued by the handsome and intelligent Sheriff, yet chagrined that her father tasked him with her protection. She's quite capable of taking care of herself - why won't anyone listen to the fact that she doesn't need a man for that? Or does she? As danger strikes at the heart of Bareglen Creek, and events begin swirling out of control, Claire wonders if she's made a mistake. Her immediate attraction to Sheriff Sully shocks her, and she has no idea what to do with the feelings awakened inside her, let alone with the danger that threatens. Sully and Claire find themselves embroiled in a world of danger, intrigue, and kidnapping. They must navigate a dangerous journey of cowboys, Indians, and love to uncover what's worth fighting for. Together they must battle against forces beyond their control and confront their deepest fears to discover what truly matters. Will Sheriff Sully and Claire discover that some things in life are worth risking your life for before it's too late? Join Sheriff Sully and Claire on a whirlwind journey that includes danger, intrigue, cowboys, chemistry, romance, and more. As the stakes get higher, will they be able to overcome their preconceived notions and protect each other from the danger that threatens to tear them apart?
