Book Description:

Clara Roberts has found herself forced to flee across country, pursued by a madman who seems to have access to every aspect of her life. Consequently, she is off the grid and under the radar when her truck breaks down in a small corner of South western, Oklahoma, and she finds herself at the mercy of a local cowboy. While she knows that she will eventually have to keep running to stay one step ahead of her stalker, she begins to find herself drawn to this man. With his support she decides that her life is something worth fighting for.

Shad Brandt wasn't sure what to expect when he pulled over to help out the girl on the side of the road, but it isn't long before he realizes that she was a lot more than he bargained for. He knows that she is running from something, but he can't quite place his finger on what it is. However, he cannot turn his back on this woman in need and when he opens his home and his heart to her he finds something else entirely. So when danger comes to lay claim to Clara, he finds that he is willing to sacrifice everything to make sure she stays safe.

Excerpt:
Running was tiring and she so badly wanted somewhere to call home. She had been on her way to stay with a childhood friend in Wichita Falls when her truck broke down, and even though it had only been two days ago, it felt like another lifetime.
"I guess that happens sometimes with older vehicles. The parts aren't as easy to find as they used to be," she finally said when she got the coffee swallowed. "Isn't your friend in Wichita Falls going to be worried about you?" Shad asked, walking around the now clean desk and inspecting the files she had neatly stacked on one side.
"Oh," she said, setting down her cup next to his on the desk and picking up an envelope from the top of one of the filing cabinets. "Could you mail this for me? It's a letter telling her what happened."
Shad smiled at her. "A letter? You have heard of phones, right? We may be out in the country, but we've got fancy things like phones and electricity."
"Old school is just how I roll." She winked and turned away from him, hoping he wouldn't catch the fear in her eyes. If her experience with the stalker had taught her nothing else, it had made her very aware of the influence technology had over everyone's life, even technology as basic as a telephone.
"I'm going to start getting lunch ready. I'll be sure to come and get you whenever it's done."
"What are you making?" she asked, licking her lips mockingly.
"It's a special recipe. You'll just have to wait to find out," he told her, winking a little as he headed to the door.
"You know, as good as you cook, I'm surprised you live in this house alone." she joked, putting her hands on her hips and smiling broadly. He had cooked all of the meals for the two of them since her arrival. "You've put five pounds on me already."
He looked her up and down, appraising her, and suddenly Clara felt almost naked in the shorts and button-up shirt she was wearing, as if his eyes were searing into her flesh. "You were too skinny. The five pounds filled you out in all the right places."
He reached out and ran the palm of his hand down her arm. She shivered under his touch, but she didn't take her eyes from his. They had darkened again, and she could see the desire there and knew it was reflected in hers as well. Before she could think about what she was doing, she put her arms around his neck, drew his face to hers, and kissed him.
His lips were hard at first, but after a moment, they softened, and he returned her embrace. When his tongue slipped into her mouth she groaned low and leaned into him as a fire uncoiled in her abdomen. It had been so long since a man had made her feel this way, and she felt herself slipping into unknown territory.
For once, she let herself go.
