Hartley Brothers

A Cowboy's Runaway Publisher's Summary

Shes running out of time.
Hes the only man standing in her wayand the only one who can keep her safe.

Nevada, 1869

Emma

I wouldnt have taken a job working for him if I had any other choice.

James is arrogant. Infuriating. And being unfairly handsome only makes it worse.

He watches my every move, insists I follow his rules, and seems determined to stand in my way.

But I need to find my friendthe one who disappeared without a word. With danger tracking me, I don't have much time left to find her. And James might be the only protection I have from what is bound to come.

With no other choice, I'll work with him. But the longer I stay, the harder it is to ignore the way my pulse betrays me when hes near
or the way leaving him might be the hardest part of all.

James

Emma doesnt belong here.

Its as clear to me as the trouble that follows herand the distraction shes quickly becoming.

I have a ranch to run and a father depending on me. I dont have time for a stubborn woman who refuses to listen.

But I wont let her get hurt.

Ill help her find what shes looking for. Keep her safe. And when its over, Ill send her on her way.

That was the plan.

Until keeping my distance becomes impossible.
