Trace (Bad Boys of River City #1)
Elle Wylder

The one righteous act of Trace Graham’s life cost him ten years in prison, and now that he’s out he’s looking for a little payback. His fury has one focus, the woman whose life he’d defended that long ago night, Serenity Lynn Jameson.
She’s spent a decade atoning for her father’s sins…
Police detective Lynn Jameson has her hands busy with a missing person and drug smuggling case. The last thing she needs is Trace bulldozing his back into her life. She knows better than to get involved with a recently released convict, even if his touch is something she’s dreamed of for years.
Opposites attract…or do they collide?
As things heat up between them, Lynn’s investigation paints a target on her back and Trace has to decide how far he’s willing to go for revenge and love.
Author’s Note: Trace was previously published as Defending Serenity. It has been rewritten and expanded.
