title: Hunter's Heart
author: Natale, Laurel
description: Kate Melrose sets out to escape two dangerous men and begin a new life with her teenaged brother Toby and their dog Sergeant. On their way out of town, they meet Jake Hunter, also going to Phoenix. Kate feels safe with Jake, but something about the tall, handsome cowboy shakes her to her core.
  Is there something more to him than the friendly help he offers?
  Jake hides his reason for traveling with Kate and Toby, a reason that battles with his growing attraction to Kate’s beauty and grace. She fills his heart and mind with thoughts of a life of love and tranquility, far different from the life of danger he lives now.
  Will he have any chance with her once she learns what he really is?
