Take a Hike

Beneath the Wild Sky, Book 3

De: Katie Ruggle

Narrado por: Callie Beaulieu

Bounty Hunter Charlie Pax is in a bind. Not only did her own mother skip town after putting the family home up as collateral, but it’s days before her first court hearing and she still hasn’t been found. If she doesn’t show, Charlie and her sisters will lose everything. There’s only one thing left for Charlie to do: make a big show of leaving town with the one piece of bait sure to lure her mother out of hiding and set a trap for her in the remote Rocky Mountains town of Simpson, Colorado.

Surly Simpson firefighter Kieran Byrne is no stranger to being on the wrong side of the law. He’s the prime suspect in the murder of a local militia leader, and he needs help proving his innocence before he can take the fall for someone else’s crime. Charlie’s got her hands more than full, but pretty soon the two strike a deal: if she can help Kieran prove his innocence, he will use his contacts to track and entrap her mom. Two birds, meet one stone.

As they break into the local militia’s compound, dodge flying bullets, and hunt for the stolen necklace, Charlie and Kieran discover they share an explosive attraction…and a growing affection neither can deny. But is there room for something as soft as romance in either of their hardscrabble worlds, or will the call of that lifelong adventure be something neither can find it within themselves to deny?
