Marked By Desire - Book 1 (Marked By Desire Romantic Suspense Series)

Hannah Mitchell is happy with life. Sure, she's still finding out exactly what she wants to do, but meanwhile working at the bakery is as good a place as any to figure that out. Her boss is a sweetheart and treats her right, and some of the regular customers have even become friends.

Luke Blake had wanted to be a U.S. Marshal for as long as he can remember, despite, or maybe because, of his parents' disapproval. He'd distanced himself from them, and their wealth, a long time ago. Keeping witnesses safe from those who wanted to kill them gave him a purpose in life, and kept his mind busy. He wasn't lonely, just dedicated, he told himself. But sometimes, he wasn't sure if even he bought that.

Then one morning Hannah walks into work and enters a nightmare. Witnessing the murder of your sweet, gentle boss by the mob can do that to you. At first the police are suspicious of her own involvement, but after she's pulled out under gunfire, Hannah becomes Luke's to watch over.

Can he keep her hidden, keep her safe? Luke knows what happens when you make a case personal, but Hannah might just be worth the risk. But to stop a killer and keep her safe, will Luke put himself in the line of fire instead?

This is book 1 in a series and ends in a cliffhanger. Book 2 is available now.
