Ranger Bravery

Shadows of the past linger...

Piper Jensen escaped her small-town, seeking a new life without the baggage of her childhood. Her only regret: breaking up with her first love through a hastily scrawled note. A decade later, when her sister is hurt in a car accident, Piper moves home to help care for her niece and nephew. Juggling her duties as a detective for the Rock Fort Police Department with the needs of her family is a struggle. And then her life is threatened...

Texas Ranger Jackson Barker has never forgotten Piper. The tough-shelled teen he once loved has grown into a brave woman with a badge and a gun. When a young woman is murdered-and Piper’s life is endangered-Jackson becomes the lead investigator. He’d prefer to keep some distance from his former sweetheart, but she insists on working together, especially when a clue ties Jackson’s childhood friend to the crime.

A subsequent assault confirms Piper’s deepest fears. These aren’t random crimes. They’re targeted attacks. Jackson vows to defend her, but his protection may not be enough. The killer is playing a deadly game and his obsession requires one final trophy: Piper.
