Fight For Me (Quaking Heart #3)
Janith Hooper

Suzannah Harper's high school sweetheart has long since passed from youthful boyfriend to bearded stalker. When a judge denies a restraining order, her pursuer’s aggression escalates. Suzannah flees to Montana to find sanctuary. Within minutes of setting foot on Harper Ranch, a bear of a man tackles her to the ground. All Suzannah sees are black eyes set over a cruel beard. And yet, this cowhand is not her stalker. A close look into those chilling eyes and she knows: they are not pits of evil, but windows to an anguished soul. Suzannah pushes her own torment aside to rescue Jake. She will—she must—help him find his wife, even when it means she can never have him.
At first, the voiceless Suzannah exasperates Jake beyond reason. But as Jake witnesses Suzannah’s daily suffering—simply to be heard—he finally understands that strength and vulnerability are two sides of the same coin. If he can muster similar strength, he can—he will—help Suzannah accept her affliction and forge ahead, or she will be lost to him forever.
