title: Cowboy Charade
author: Marcel, Zoey
description: Danielle Hartwell flees Chicago after witnessing her ex-boyfriend murder someone. A handsome cowboy helps her avoid detection when Gavin's men go looking for her. Heath Brodie is charmed by the curvy blonde, but there's just one problem. Danielle doesn't like his father, Malachi Brodie, a judgmental preacher. Heath leaves out his last name when he introduces himself, hoping that doesn't come back to bite him. When Danielle arrives home in McKenna Downs, David and Brighton McAlister confess their love for her. They're willing to share her with Heath, but the cowboy is wary of their proposal since he grew up in a traditional home. Danielle's ex-boyfriend is still out there hunting her. Can the men protect her from him? What happens when a biker with an ax to grind decides it's time for Heath to pay for what he did ten years ago?
