River Wild by B.J. Daniels

Everyone has a secret. Some of them are deadly...

Some scars can’t be hidden. Sheriff Stuart Layton has plenty of those, courtesy of an attack that left him doubting himself as a lawman. But in Bailey McKenna, he recognises a different kind of hurt. That unspoken understanding has him opening his door to the mysterious, elusive young woman again and again, hoping she’ll tell him what she’s running from.

Bailey has spent years searching for the rancher who put her through hell. She never saw his face, but she’s convinced he’s somewhere in Powder River. Now, suddenly, she has terrifying proof of how close he is. This time, Stuart is by her side, determined to protect he r— and find retribution for himself. But will that be enough to fend off a killer waiting to finish what he started?
