Rory Hawke is a woman of numbers, but the math is not adding up. After her father’s death, she uncovers a web of corruption and deceit that her brother is desperate to keep quiet. With an encrypted drive and a go-bag, she flees to the rugged terrain of Cypress Cliffs, taking an alias and a job as an admin for the local grump. Rafe has enough problems without harboring a ‘city girl’ and her secrets. His ranch is drowning in debt, and a predatory developer is squeezing him from all sides. He doesn’t have time for a new assistant who names the chickens and challenges his every move– until he realizes she is the sharpest weapon in his arsenal. When danger strikes, Rafe finds assistance from a Navy SEAL, and for a former Army pilot. Will their help be enough to save him from losing everything? With cameo appearances from Susan Stoker’s John ‘Tex’ Keegan, and Christopher ‘Abe’ Powers. less
