BECAUSE YOU'RE MINE
Everyone in the mountain town of Sisters, California loves Keeley. Or do they?

When she’s attacked, and a woman she knows is murdered, the one person in her life who acts like he can barely tolerate her, swoops in to become her avenger.

A bossy, overbearing avenger.

Keeley should be used to Owen mood swings, but now he’s ratcheted it up to a new level, and she’s not amused. She’s been taking care of herself for years, and doesn’t need him managing her life.

But, there’s this little problem. With him around all the time, how will she quash the Owen crush she’s been harboring for far too long?

Owen figures he can protect Keeley, find and deal with the person who’s trying to ruin her life, and then return to his solitary existence. But the woman is pure mountain sunshine, and keeping her safe means keeping her close, and that risks exposing his heart to the greatest danger he’s ever faced.

Reader Reviews

Love, love, love this book! Sawyer and Cam are a super hot couple and their chemistry burns up the pages. I'd read the buildup to their story in the first two books of this series and, boy oh boy, did Secret Lies deliver!!! So satisfying!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Amelia

I’ve been waiting for Cam and Sawyer’s story, and hoo-boy, this book delivers everything I love in a romance. A determined hero, a brave heroine, sinister villains, and sizzling heat between the MCs. Nothing is rushed, yet the story is a real page turner. Even with all the tension and suspense, there’s an underlying sweetness that gave me lots of swoony sigh moments. 100% recommendation. Looking forward to more stories in this series.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - MoKnows

Another hit from my favorite author! I loved Cameron and Sawyer’s story. A deep attraction that was undeniable. But unfortunate circumstances from the past were preventing any progress until that trouble came to town. Lots of action, steamy moments, and just a great couple (plus an adorable little dog) add up to another winner by this author..🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - Editor_in_STL
