Kate Boyle has lived through more loss than most people twice her age. She’s strong and independent, so letting people in to help her handle her grief or problems is next to impossible for her. The owner of a successful company, Secure Settings, Kate devotes all her time to keeping people safe and rescuing those who can’t save themselves. When she gets the call that her grandpa died and she’s now inherited his ranch, a storm of epic proportions starts. Smart enough to know she can’t watch out for danger while grieving, she calls in a favor for help. Jared and Dean Acker just got out of the Marines and are a little lost as to what comes next for them. So when they’re asked to back up a friend of a friend, they’re in… And meet the woman of their dreams. Now, if they could just convince her.
Jamie has been the adult of everything most of her life from keeping house for her parents as a kid, to being the one who made Secure Settings a reality. As good as she is at anything she’s tasked with, her drive stems from wanting to be accepted and appreciated… Which very few have ever done. Stacy was lost when he got out of the military, and being tricked into shooting Kate didn’t help. He fought for redemption by putting Kyle behind bars, but somehow he knows it’s the dark haired beauty that will get him and his wolf into line if she’ll just give him a real chance. Nate has been into Kate for so long, but when Jamie confesses she’s in love with him, he can’t seem to see anything or anyone but her. Not only has he missed that two Alpha Bitches were right in front of him all of this time, but one was in love with him. Is it too late for them, or did he lose her to someone who will love her as he should have? Or is there another option?
