"I know these mountains like the back of my hand," Jake said, his grip tightening on me. "That's why I told you not to bother running, Saoirse. Because I will find you. No matter how long it takes. I'll hunt you down and drag you back to me."

After a failed job interview, Saoirse Byrne's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and she's forced to stop by the only gas station in a small town. Jake Boudreaux fixes her car and watches her drive off.

But his small town is dangerous.

When she gets into trouble, he's there to rescue her.

But now that he's rescued her, he refuses to let her go. Jake insists marrying him is the only way to keep Saoirse safe.

But marrying a guy like Jake seems dangerous. There's got to be a reason the whole town is afraid of her rangy, sexy rescuer.

And when she tries to escape from him she finds out why.

Jake Boudreaux runs half the state, but he's never found it so hard to get something he wants. And he wants Saoirse. If he can only stop her from running away long enough to convince her to stay.

"You know, you're keeping me here by force," I said.
"Correct," Jake said. "And I'll continue to keep you here by force until you stop running away."

This book is a single, 1st-person POV standalone with a HEA ending. This is a fast-paced, steam-heavy forced marriage Mafia romance, with some violent scenes that may be distressing to some people.
