author: Nolan, Brenda
description: Despite his stunningly dark eyes and his impressive frame, Ryan Hawke is rude, arrogant, and self absorbed. Still, he is the only thing that stands between Elizabeth Drake and the men that want her dead. After her father is murdered and her brother is brutally attacked, only Ryan is left to help Elizabeth. The letter that she carries is her salvation, but to the men that are after her it's as good as a death warrant. Ryan wants nothing to do with Elizabeth. His life was perfect in Burdery before she arrived. However, once she stepped foot in his bank he knew he was going to be sucked in. Unavoidably, Elizabeth brings nothing but destruction to everyone that she trusts. And the only man that can help her is the one that Elizabeth trusts the least.
