No holding back
(Book)

"Trucker Sterling (Star) Parson is no stranger to the challenges a woman faces, both in her industry and in life. But she can take care of herself. She's never needed--or wanted--a man around...until she meets Cade McKenzie. The take-charge bar owner sets off all kinds of alarm bells for Sterling, but he also sets her heart racing. Cade's lived in Ridge Trail long enough to know trouble when he sees it, and the moment Sterling--Star--walks into his bar, he knows trouble's come to call. Secrets run deep in the small town and Cade can tell Star's got as many as he does, leaving him itching to uncover every last one. But finding common ground will mean trusting one another, further feeding an intense attraction that's growing impossible to resist."--Back cover.

Helping his family protect the most vulnerable members of their Colorado mountain town, Cade McKenzie clashes with a headstrong, passionate woman who becomes a reluctant ally.
