Released in Your Arms

What would you do if love were your greatest danger... and your only salvation? Emory has built a new identity in Millbrook, a town lost in the mountains where nobody asks questions. She works as a waitress, smiles when she should, and every night checks the locks on her door three times. Because Marcus, her ex-husband, isn't the kind of man who takes no for an answer. And she's been running from him for months. Knox Dalton is the sheriff who sees everything and says nothing. He recognizes the lies in Emory's documents, the scars she hides beneath long sleeves, the terror lurking behind her green eyes. He should arrest her for using a false identity. Instead, he falls in love with her. Have you ever felt that touching someone can save you and condemn you at the same time? Knox knows. Every glance between them becomes a silent confession of unspeakable needs. When Emory's past explodes in Millbrook, Knox must choose between the law he swore to protect and the woman who taught him to love again. Because Marcus doesn't come alone: he brings with him the power of money, corrupt contacts in the judicial system, and the determination to reclaim what he considers his. Believe me when I tell you that some men confuse obsession with love until it's too late. A story where redemption has a price and freedom is paid for in blood. For readers seeking intense romance with broken protagonists who heal each other, even if it means destroying everything they thought they knew about themselves. In Millbrook, love isn't just a promise. It's a declaration of war.
