The Mercenary's Refuge: A Dark Small-Town Romance (Raven's Hollow #3)
SALLIA THORNE
She called her brother the sheriff instead.
Claire Holloway teaches elementary school, cries at commercials, and has never broken a rule in her life. Until the night Jake Morrison—mercenary, fugitive, and walking danger—crashes through her back door and turns her safe, quiet world into a war zone.
Jake's been framed for murder. The man hunting him wants him dead. And Claire—sweet, innocent Claire—just became collateral damage.
Cade Holloway trusts exactly two people: his wife Riley, and Jake Morrison. So when his baby sister calls saying she's harboring a wanted man, Cade doesn't arrest Jake.
He helps him.
Now Claire's caught between federal agents, a psychopath with a vendetta, and a mercenary who looks at her like she's salvation and damnation wrapped in one beautiful package.
Jake knows he should let her go. Knows she deserves better than a man with blood on his hands and death on his tail. But Claire Holloway saw past the mercenary to the man underneath—and now Jake can't let her go.
Won't let her go.
Even if keeping her means painting a target on her back. Even if loving her means destroying the life she built.
Because some men are worth saving. And some women are worth dying for.
A mercenary with nothing to lose. A teacher who sees the man beneath the monster. And a town that will burn to protect its own.
THE MERCENARY'S REFUGE is a dark, steamy standalone romance with an alpha hero, high heat, and a guaranteed HEA. Book 3 in the Raven's Hollow series.
