About The Author
My Review
This is a fast-paced romantic suspense that wastes no time pulling the reader into danger. Scarlett, a well-known actress, is desperate to escape a former agent who has crossed the line from persistent to terrifying. Seeking safety, she retreats to her estranged family’s remote mountain ranch—only to find that isolation brings its own risks.
Miles, the rugged host tasked with protecting guests at the ranch, initially sees Scarlett as a spoiled celebrity running from her problems. Their early clashes are sharp and engaging, making it especially satisfying to watch his opinion shift as her vulnerability and resilience come to light. The chemistry builds naturally amid rising tension, with Miles stepping up as a determined and capable protector.
Winters does an excellent job sustaining suspense. Scarlett’s constant paranoia about being found, combined with the emotional strain of returning to a place tied to family estrangement, adds depth beyond the immediate threat. The setting amplifies the danger, creating a claustrophobic atmosphere where help feels far away.
With steady twists, escalating stakes, and a strong central pairing, this is a gripping, quick read. Fans of romantic suspense who enjoy protective heroes and relentless tension will find plenty to love here.
