You can’t outrun a troubled past, no matter how fierce your love.
All Demetri has ever wanted was to protect his deaf sister. It’s why he became a doctor, and it’s why he must get her away from Colorado. Hunted by the Irish mafia, Demetri and Sandy flee to Bear Creek, where they settle into a calm life, free from the troubles of their past...or so they think.
With Sandy safe and flourishing in her new life, Demetri longs for something more, and long winter evenings of letter-writing soon brings Emily into his life. Emily’s not like any girl he’s ever met before. With her fitted jeans, her pistol, and her sharp wit, she’s no ordinary lady, and she doesn’t need protecting.
But Sandy does. Demetri’s past follows him to Bear Creek: Sandy’s in danger, and the whole community’s under threat.
Is love and friendship enough to save her? Can Emily prove herself to Demetri? Will this fearless bride cure the troubled doctor’s heart?
