The Good Kind

Her husband controls everything-except the deputy who refuses to look away
============
Jake Tropper gave up his lieutenant's bars in Arkansas and moved to Texas to keep one promise: protect the wife and young daughters his brother left behind-and never fail them the way he believes he failed Brendon.

Anniston Hillson was never supposed to become part of that promise.

To the rest of town, she is the graceful wife of a powerful senator, living the kind of life most people would envy. But now, working as a sheriff's deputy, Jake sees what everyone else misses-the way Anniston flinches when her husband reaches for her, the fear concealed beneath her perfect smile, and the practiced lies she tells to keep the peace.

When one violent night exposes the truth, Jake refuses to become another man who looks away.

But Dennis Hillson has money, influence, and a sheriff's department that knows better than to challenge him.

Standing beside Anniston could cost Jake his badge. Loving her could cost him everything else.

For the first time in years, Jake has found someone who makes him want more than survival. Now he must decide how far he is willing to go to give Anniston the one thing she has never known:

A love that feels safe.
