From a New York Times bestselling author, a Texas Ranger with a checkered past must choose between vengeance and family.
Crawford Hunt lost custody of his daughter after his wife died four years ago, following a downward spiral. Now that he's cleaned up his act, he wants her back. His family's fate lies in the hands of Judge Holly Spencer. Holly must prove herself worthy of a permanent judgeship on the cusp of an upcoming election. Every decision is high-stakes, and Holly is wary of Crawford's past–until he saves her from a masked gunman.
With the gunman still at large, Crawford uncovers a horrifying truth, leading him to seek vengeance and compromise his chance of regaining custody of his daughter. Now, Holly needs protection not only from an assassin, but from Crawford himself as a forbidden attraction grows between them.
