Genre: Contempoary Romance/Western Romance/Fiction



She ran to Montana to save her life.
She never expected to lose her heart.

After witnessing a brutal murder, dancer Delilah Grant has two choices: disappear or die. Armed with a stolen USB and nothing left to lose, she flees to a remote Montana ranch, hiding in plain sight at Weston Whiskey, where hard work and silence are her only shields.

Cole Weston doesn't trust her for a second.

A former bull rider with a permanent scowl and a dark past he doesn't talk about, Cole knows trouble when he sees it—and Delilah is drowning in secrets.

But the longer she stays on his ranch, the harder it becomes to ignore the beautiful little liar. Between glasses of whiskey, seductive dances, and chemistry he can't deny, Cole swears he's not falling for the woman whose taste he can't forget.

Until Delilah's past catches up to her and the truth is far darker than either of them could have imagined.

With the clock ticking and their lives on the line, he'd move heaven and earth to rescue the woman he loves. Because while whiskey might be his family's business, their real legacy is one of bloody vengeance.

The first book in the brand new Weston Brothers series from bestselling author Ava Hunter.

Ava Hunter

Ava Hunter is a strong believer in black coffee, red wine, and the there's-only-one-bed trope. She writes contemporary romance with healthy amounts of angst where the damsels are never quite damsels, but the men they love (good, bad and rugged) are always there for them. Her first series, Nashville Star, centers on sexy country singers and their honky-tonk drama-filled lives.

Ava is married to her high school sweetheart, loves writing strong, stubborn women that only make their men fall harder, adores all things pink, and can never ever get enough of protector romance.

The moment she wanders onto his ranch Colt Weston knows that she is the definition of trouble, Delilah Grant has some secrets and he isn't so sure he should be giving her a place to stay. She's likely to bring trouble to his doorstep... trouble that he does not need. Or does he?

Between the pages of this delightfully penned tale readers will meet a woman that is desperate for a safe place to fall and she is hoping that a hidden away ranch in Montana will offer her that. Surely her past would never think to look for her there. Delilah has seen things that will likely get her killed if her past catches up to her, but she did a good job covering her tracks, or so she hopes so.

Colt Weston isn't looking for love or trouble, but the instant he meets his new house guest he knows he's stumbled onto both. As much as he would like to admit that he isn't falling for Delilah he knows he'd be lying, there is just something about the woman that gets deep under his skin. She needs protecting and he wants to be the man the offer it... even if it means getting his hands dirty to do it!

This suspenseful and steamy page-turner really caught me off guard. I read the synopsis, thought I knew what to expect... but nothing could have prepared me for what I found waiting for me between the pages! It was such an enjoyable and action-packed (in more ways than one!) read... one that has me looking forward to the next installment. If you are a western romance reader I have no doubt that you will love this book, Colt is quite the cowboy! One that'll steal your heart before you even know it's happening!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.
