Lauren Wilder trusted the wrong man and paid dearly for her mistake. She retreats to the Colorado mountains seeking refuge with the Colter family, but her dangerous ex refuses to let her go. He commands wealth and influence, and he will destroy anyone who stands between him and reclaiming Lauren. Her brother hires Liam and Noah to protect her, and the two men follow Lauren to her mountain sanctuary. They see past her wounds to the woman she was before her world collapsed. As danger closes in, Liam and Noah prove they are nothing like the man who broke her. They offer Lauren something she thought she had lost forever: the promise of love without fear, passion without pain, and men willing to risk everything to keep her safe.
