Dr. Quinn meets Bridgerton in this new series from USA Today bestselling author Naomi Rawlings.
Jonas Redding never wants to be a lawman again. He's spent a decade as a US Marshal, wearing a tin star on his chest and chasing dangerous criminals across the great state of Texas. But when a case goes wrong, Jonas finds himself standing over two tombstones—his mother's and his fiancée's.
Resolved to protect his sister from meeting the same fate, Jonas cuts off all communication with her, changes his name, and heads north to the vast, untamed Alaskan wilderness.
Jonas isn't even in Alaska for a day before meeting Ilya Amos, a boy with wide eyes, an endless smile, and a heart of pure gold. Before he realizes what's happening, Jonas finds himself sucked into the everyday life of the Amoses—a large, sprawling family that happens to include one sister who's a doctor, another who's a lawyer, and two half siblings that the family loves against all odds.
Yet Jonas is resolved not to get too close to the Amoses, especially Ilya's older sister Evelina, a lawyer with an unwavering desire to help anyone in need. The last thing Jonas wants to do is put another woman in jeopardy.
But when the unthinkable happens and dangerous men seek revenge against the Amos family, Jonas must decide between hiding from his past or putting his badge back on and risking everything to save the family he doesn't want to admit he loves.
From a USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain family saga filled with a forced-proximity, opposites attract romance, and a love that heals wounded hearts.
