Wild Hearts: Bailey Brothers Book #3

Survival comes with a price.

When Ainsley Edwards escapes a violent past, she expects anonymity in the small town of Pine Grove and a safe space close to the only family she has, her cousin Laney. What she doesn’t expect is to be thrown into the life of Lupin Bailey, the rugged rancher and single father who once starred in every dream she had as a teenager.

When Ainsley steps in to nanny his spirited young daughter, old feelings reluctantly spark to life. But when an unexpected custody battle threatens to tear four-year-old Ollie from her father, Ainsley agrees to a fake marriage to help him keep his daughter and in return, she becomes even more invisible as she runs from her past. It’s simple, temporary. No strings attached.

Until feelings attach everywhere.

Just as their carefully controlled arrangement begins to feel dangerously real, unsettling incidents shake the ranch. Shadows follow Ainsley, and Lupin’s past enemies circle closer. Then Ainsley vanishes—ripped from the life and love she’s only just begun to build. Now Lupin must race to uncover the Was Ainsley taken by the threat she fled, or by someone determined to destroy him?
