Hattie Finds Trust (Maxwell Brides #7)
Krissyann Granger

Mark is strong and protective, but reserved and quiet. His heart is worn out from the strain that has come with taking down the Benson operation and rescuing damaged women. When he brings Hattie to the rescue house, he can't take any more. He determines to go back to the ranch, and heal his spirit from the suffering he's seen.
When the skittish Hattie finds Mark in a vulnerable position, can she overcome her fear and help him? Will their spiritual damage be their bond?
