Axe-ing For Trouble: A Protector Lumberjack Romance - Paperback

On the run, injured, and out of options, I had no choice but to go back to him.

Back to the one place I swore I wouldn't-because staying away was the only way to keep him safe.

Jude Hebert.

My one-night stand turned unexpected protector.

A rugged, guitar-playing lumberjack with broad shoulders and blue eyes that could light up the darkest Maine night.

And the man determined to keep me safe.

When we're forced to hide out in his cozy cabin, we make the best of it by playing Scrabble and sharing stolen laughter, pretending the world outside isn't closing in. He carries me like I weigh nothing, cleans my wounds with gentle hands, serenades me with his guitar and makes heat bloom beneath my skin with every stolen glance.

He insists I take the bed every night. Eventually, I ask him to stay.

The way Jude looks at me-like I'm worth protecting-breaks down my defenses. Soon, he's my protector and confidant, and in these stolen moments, I begin to imagine a life I'd long ago given up on having.

But the danger I'm running from is catching up. Though the answers I've been chasing are within reach, so is the threat that could destroy us both.

In the depths of the Maine wilderness, love can be wild, unexpected, and terrifying.

And sometimes it takes a burly, stubborn lumberjack to help a woman find her way home.
