Riley — Rose Middleton

A promise he never thought he'd have to keep...​Former soldier, Richard Riley, has spent the last month watching over the daughter of his deceased Commanding Officer. A price has been placed on her head and the bounty hunters are on their way. Protecting people is second nature to him and maintaining personal boundaries on the job is not usually a problem, but she stirs deeply hidden desires.​A past that won't let go... ER surgeon, Hope McCafferty understands trauma all too well. At four, her mother died. At fourteen, her father was murdered. Placed in witness protection, her life was turned upside down. Ten years later, her life is in danger again, but trust doesn't come easily to Hope. When she needs someone to rely on, the scarred stranger who shows up to save her offers more than the prospect of answers. On the run from bounty hunters, Hope and Riley must uncover the truth behind her identity and the reason for the bounty, while the relationship developing between them puts trust and faith to the ultimate test.  Readers are advised that this book contains adult content (including sex scenes; violence and swearing).Heat rating: Moderate
