All Jake Cogburn wants is to be left alone.

Caught in an IED explosion in Afghanistan, Jake lost his leg, his team, and his will to live. Back in Colorado, he plans to drown the pain in a bottle—until Brotherhood Protectors leader Hank Patterson drags him back into the fight.

His first assignment? Protect Rucker Juliet Tate—the sharp-tongued, fearless daughter of a former Marine running a failing dude ranch. RJ can handle anything life throws at her…except witnessing a secret that makes her a target.

Now someone wants her silenced.

Jake wasn’t looking for redemption—or love—but guarding RJ may be the one thing that saves them both. If the killer doesn’t get to her first.

No man left behind.

No woman left unprotected.

And no second chances if they fail.
