Walnut Grove Cowboy by JR Gale:
 
He was right in front of me, and yet a single lie made him a lifetime away."

Is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all?

Rachel Collins seems to have the perfect life, that is, until she realizes her husband, Dr. Jack Brooklyn, is a master of control and rage. After escaping his powerful grasp, Rachel sheds her identity and vanishes into the remote silence of Walnut Grove Lake, seeking anonymity and safety.

Her solitude is shattered by Weston Brooks.

Wounded by his own past, the rugged cowboy is the one man Rachel shouldn't trust, yet his protective presence is irresistible. Their immediate attraction forces her to risk the fragile life she fought for.

But Jack is still out there, hunting for his lost wife. He won't let her run again, no matter what the cost.

Rachel must fight not just for her life, but for the life of the only man who truly protected her.
