She's running from danger. He's the danger she needs.

Lily Cross thought she'd disappeared. New name. New town. New life working at Mae's Diner in Raven's Hollow. No one asking questions. No one looking too close.
Then Deputy Marcus Brennan pulls into the parking lot and shatters her carefully constructed lie.
Marcus knows Lily's hiding something. Knows she flinches at loud noises. Knows she pays cash for everything and never gives a straight answer. He should report her. Should do his job. Should walk away.
Instead, he takes her home.

One night to keep her safe. One night to figure out what she's running from. But when Marcus discovers Lily's in witness protection—and her handler's been compromised—he makes a choice that could end his career.
He's keeping her. No matter the cost.
Because Lily Cross isn't just some case. She's his. And Marcus Brennan protects what's his—badge or no badge.
Now the mafia want her dead. The feds want her testimony. And Marcus wants everyone to understand one simple truth: You don't touch his woman and live to regret it.
A deputy who breaks all his own rules. A woman who's been running her whole life. And a small town that protects its own.

THE DEPUTY'S CLAIM is a dark, steamy standalone romance with a protective hero, high heat, and a guaranteed HEA. Book 2 in the Raven's Hollow series.
