EBOOK | PAPERBACK | AUDIO
A no-strings kinda guy and a forever kinda woman…what could go wrong?
I had a stalker and I knew just who to ask for help—Detective Dalton Neary. My own personal Prince Charming. The problem was, he turned out not to be so charming, at least not in the forever kind of way I was looking for. He was a good-time guy with a sexy smile and a goat game that should be illegal. But not the man for me.
I should’ve told her no. I had no business playing bodyguard to a woman I’d spent months trying to keep my hands off of. But I couldn't fight the pull of Vanessa Hale. She was a weakness that turned into an obsession and when her life came crashing down around her I couldn’t walk away.
Lies and family secrets turn into a life-or-death situation threatening to destroy Vanessa's entire family and rob Dalton of his second chance at love.

Beautiful Chaos Reviews ~ "Way to kick off a series, Riley! I devoured this in one sitting and enjoyed every page. I wonder how Riley keeps us loving the characters as she expands her universe. But she does it anyway with loveable characters, some steamy romance, and a mystery that ends with the good guys winning and a happily ever after. So very satisfying."
Stuck Between The Covers ~ "I loved this story so much. It makes me wanna go and read the spin off series- Triple Canopy. Because these characters. LOVE! I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery and family drama in this book. Add in all the side characters it was so well rounded."
Paperbacks and Plot Twists ~ "It was fast-paced, and the story developed nicely. I enjoyed both main characters, who each had their own weaknesses and strengths. I think when an author showcases flaws, it makes the characters much more relatable. It wasn't a typical romance, and it had some great mystery and surprises along the way."
