BLURB
She was just trying to help him get back on his feet.
Once upon a time, Bristol Moreau managed to drag her late brother back from the brink of the abyss. So when she finds out that one of his former brothers-in-arms is living on the streets, she makes it her mission to do the same for him. But he makes it clear from the start that he doesn’t want her help—or anything to do with her. When she persists, it unleashes a chain of events that lands them square in the crosshairs of a deadly cartel. And now her only hope is the man who wants nothing to do with her.
Instead, she accidentally blew up his world.
It feels like every time former Ranger TJ Barros turns around, she’s there. The exasperating, stubborn, and gorgeous woman who refuses to take no for an answer. He shouldn’t want her—because he knows the scorching attraction between them could destroy them both. She deserves better than him, a broken man who’s spent the past year living on the streets. But now they’ve both got targets on their backs, and armed gunmen hunting them down. And just when he finally breaks away from her, things go sideways. Now she’s facing certain death because of him, and TJ will do anything to save her—even if it means trading his life for hers.

EXCERPT
Bristol jerked to a halt when she spotted two men standing off near the tree line edging the lot. They stopped talking, their heads whipping toward her, and her heart jolted when she realized it was TJ talking to…Mark?
Her gaze dipped to the small bag in TJ’s hand. “What are you doing?” she blurted. She was not imagining this.
He shoved it into his pocket. “You shouldn’t be here.”
She glanced from him to Mark and back again, outrage shooting through her. He was buying drugs? Buying drugs here? After everything she and others had done to help him turn his life around? “Really?” she accused, fighting the wobble in her voice. Dammit, she would not cry.
“What is this?” Mark said, edging back a step.
Her gaze snapped to him. Narrowed. How dare he turn out to be a dealer? “He moved here to get his life back together,” she told him, anger and disappointment flooding her in equal measure. How could TJ give up his chance and throw it all away with everything he had going for him here?
TJ’s expression hardened as he stared at her. “You need to go. Now.”
She held her ground, refusing to look away. Damn him. She felt sick to her stomach. “I can’t believe you.”
“Enough.” Mark spun toward her, raising his arm.
A gasp stuck in her throat when she saw the gun pointing at her. She froze in place, too afraid to move, her gaze glued to the barrel of the weapon.
“Hey, easy,” TJ said in a low voice, holding his hands up in a gesture of surrender when Mark swung the weapon toward him. “There’s no need for that. She doesn’t know anything.”
“Did you set me up?” Mark took a nervous step backward, his gaze darting to her.
“No.”
“Then what the fuck is she doing here?” He jerked the gun back on her.
“She doesn’t know anything, man, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Put it away.”
How could TJ be so calm? Bristol retreated a step, mouth dry, heart beating a hundred miles an hour. Oh my God. Oh my God—
TJ moved so fast Bristol didn’t even understand what was happening until Mark was on the ground and TJ had the gun in his hand.
He turned and raced toward her. “Run!” he shouted.
Eyes wide, she spun around and bolted, the awful crawling sensation at the back of her neck telling her she was being chased by someone else. Not daring to risk a look over her shoulder to find out, she ran straight for her car, her legs like jelly, the sound of TJ’s pounding footsteps on the asphalt almost as loud as the thudding of her heart in her ears.
