Danger draws one woman into an undercover agent's arms in the first Sinclair Brothers romance thriller from the New York Times –bestselling author. "Ma'am, I'm not one of the bad guys." So says the handsome man Martha Gabler encounters near her isolated mountain cabin. Tristan Sinclair claims he's an ATF agent working undercover. And that if she doesn't play along as his unexpected girlfriend, they'll both end up dead. Nursing a broken heart, Martha knows a thing or two about love that isn't real. Still, she calls up all her faith and turns her shaky trust over to Tristan. Soon she's hoping he'll take on a new mission: guarding her for the rest of her life. Martha Gabler is just an ordinary person, a veterinary technician living in the same small town she grew up in. Everyone talks about everyone in Lakeview, and when she breaks up with her fiancé, she knows it is better to leave town for a couple of days instead of listening to a thousand people tell her they knew Brian McMath wasn't the guy for her to begin with. Hello?! She could have used that information a little sooner. Her father's hunting cabin seems like the perfect place to hide out for a few days. It's way off the beaten track up in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Martha knows none of her friends would follow her there. A couple of packs of tissue, a double supply of chocolate and she is ready for anything. Or so she thinks. She walks into her father's cabin and straight into the arms of Tristan Sinclair, nearly getting both of them killed trying to escape. Fortunately, Tristan isn't the kind of guy to panic. He gets the two of them out of a very scary situation and gets shot in the process. Martha thinks that is that, but Tristan shows up her doorstep a day later and tells her she is in danger and that he is going to be her bodyguard. Can you believe it? Capable, independent Martha Gabler needing a bodyguard? The idea is laughable, but Tristan is determined. He's the kind of guy one can depend on. Strong and compassionate and more than willing to do what it takes to protect the people he loves. It doesn't take Martha long to realize she needs him. Not just for a while. Forever
