She’s fighting for her life.
He’ll risk everything to keep her safe.
When Rachel Roberts is nearly abducted, she makes a panicked call to the one man she can trust. Lawman Dane Jones will do anything to protect his best friend’s widow. Plagued by the guilt he bears over the man’s tragic death and his undeclared love for Rachel, Dane must confront his past in order to stop a madman. Their lives—and their futures—depend on it.
The Protectors of Riker County
TYLER ANNE SNELL genuinely loves all genres of the written word. However, she’s realized that she loves books filled with sexual tension and mysteries a little more than the rest. Her stories have a good dose of both. Tyler lives in Alabama with her same-named husband and their mini “lions.” When she isn’t reading or writing, she’s playing video games and working on her blog, Almost There. To follow her shenanigans, visit tylerannesnell.com.

This book is for Dianne. Not only are you the
best mama-in-law I could ask for, you’re also insane.
In the best way possible. Thank you for all of your help
with this series. And for creating my favorite human.
May all your days be blessed with pineapples.
