She came for a fresh start.
He came for a joke.
Neither expected to find danger-or each other.
After a bad breakup turned terrifying, Nova Conlin ran. New town, new name, new life-far from the ex who crossed every line. She's sworn off relationships and refuses to let anyone past her walls. Especially not some rodeo clown with a crooked smile and mystery in his eyes.
But Dakotah Foster isn't just any clown. Off-duty, he's a seasoned crime scene investigator with a sharp mind and a knack for reading people. He never wanted to be center ring-but thanks to a dare and a pushy friend, he's suddenly dodging bulls and locking eyes with a woman who's clearly running from more than just the crowd.
When Nova's past comes crashing back-violent, unrelenting, and closer than she ever feared-Dakotah is the only one who sees the pattern. And he's the only one willing to fight for her... even if it means exposing everything he's tried to keep buried.
Sparks fly. Secrets unravel.
And danger is always one step behind.
