Montana Heat

February 5, 2018
An undercover DEA special agent finds his match in the brave, law-abiding daughter of a powerful drug dealer in Ryan’s high-octane second contemporary set in Montana (after Escape to You). Cara Potter has spent her life trying to navigate around her father’s illicit career and build her own life. When Dawson King, aka Chris “Flash” Hickman, goes to work for her, his plan is to uncover proof about her father’s dealings and her presumed involvement. He doesn’t expect to fall for the beautiful, brave diner owner who offers jobs and second chances to people recently released from prison. Cara suspects there are hidden depths to the intelligent, hard-working, sensitive Flash. He doesn’t act like any ex-con she knows, and, when he makes it his mission to protect her, she finds his tenderness to be as irresistible as his handsomeness. They find love and solace in each other’s arms, but Dawson knows it’s only a matter of time before the truth of his identity is revealed. Cara and her father have a complex, affectionate relationship that will engage the reader’s sympathies, and the story is action-packed with a surprise ending, setting a high bar for the next in the series.
