Daryl Raintree is broody, intense, and way too much man for her. But tell that to her hormones, who've decided the former rodeo star is the perfect antidote to the mess she's made of her life. All she has to do is find the nerve to take another chance on love. One reluctant bodyguard. Helping the woman nicknamed Princess escape her overbearing family wasn't in the job description. Neither was going on the run with her. But nothing about Amelia Westlake is turning out like he expected, including the unwanted attraction that's starting to drive him just a little crazy.
