Deception and New Direction | HF 27

Some pasts won’t stay buried. Some men refuse to walk away.

Ruthie Campbell thought she’d finally outrun her past. Living under a new name, she’s rebuilt a quiet life as a receptionist at a private security firm in Georgia. It’s safe. Simple. Controlled.
Until Jack Hutchinson walks through the door.

Jack—her best friend’s brother, a broody, battle-scarred Army Ranger—has a talent for seeing
through walls. And Ruthie’s are crumbling fast. When a dangerous stalker resurfaces and her
old life catches up to her, Jack refuses to let her face it alone.

He’s protective. He’s relentless. And he’s falling hard.

As their connection deepens and threats close in, Ruthie must decide if she can trust Jack
with the truth—and whether love is worth risking everything she’s worked so hard to hide.
