I should’ve known Lincoln Pierce was trouble from the moment I held my knife to his throat.

I’ve been running for most of my life, hiding away in a small town and hoping no one discovers who I truly am. The only problem is that I can never let anyone know the real me. Or at least that was true until my brother moved his best friend onto our shared property.

Now, I’m stuck trying to avoid the nosy billionaire’s probing questions and piercing stares. And it doesn’t help that I almost killed him the first time we met.

Oops.

But when all my carefully crafted lies come crashing down around me, it’s Linc stepping in to shield me. And when it looks like the person hunting me for all those years is back, Linc will do anything to keep me safe.

Only it’s not just my safety at risk. It’s my heart. Because when Linc touches me, I lose all sense. And when I truly get to know the broken billionaire, he’s so much more than a ruthless business tycoon. He’s the man showing me that it’s time to really live.

But I’m not the only one with secrets. Linc has them, too. And when the forces from our pasts emerge from the shadows, it’s with only one goal: to end the new life we’re building together. For good.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Book 4 in the Sparrow Falls series follows Coulson foster sister Arden and Lincoln, who is best friends with her brother Cope, and also the owner of Cope’s hockey team.

I knew going into this that Arden had some kind of traumatic past β€” and I was really interested in getting to know the reason why her guard dog Brutus is her constant companion. Catherine Cowles did not disappoint with the beautiful story she crafted with its strong heroine and stand-up hero. I loved Lincoln and Arden from their first meeting, how he helped her come out of her shell and learn to love again, all the way through the wonderful epilogue.

As with all of CC’s books, there is a thread of suspense throughout the book, and who I *thought* was the villain was not even close. There were two great plot twists that I did not see coming.

I read this book in tandem while listening to the audio with Sebastian York and Samantha Brentmoor. Those two narrators never disappoint, and they brought such a richness to Linc and Arden’s story.

Well done! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
