Protected By the Mountain Man Cowboy

I had a one-night stand with a dangerous stranger.

He doesn’t know that I secretly had his baby—

Now someone wants us both dead.

It was my birthday.

An airport bar.

Too much champagne.

A dark, quiet man who smelled like leather and night air,

rough hands that didn’t ask—only claimed.

He kissed me like tomorrow didn’t exist.

He was gone by morning.

He carried a guitar case—

I thought he was a musician.

I was wrong.

Ryder Morgan is a ghost.

Former Special Ops. Lethal. Reclusive.

The man you call when everything falls apart—

and vanishes without a trace.

Months later, I learned the truth.

I was pregnant.

I chose my child instead of chasing a man built to disappear.

Until a kill list surfaced.

Until my son and I were marked.

Now Ryder has a choice.

Disappear again…

Or protect the family he helped to create.
