Tough Justice - Paperback

Duke Pierson has spent years building a life he can finally be proud of.

His security company is thriving. His past is buried. And the rules he lives by are simple: protect the people he loves, stay loyal to his team, and never-under any circumstances-cross the line with his best friend's little sister.

Then Suzy Tipton walks into Rough Ride Security.

Smart-mouthed, stubborn, and impossible to ignore, Suzy has always been off-limits. But working side by side with her every day is testing Duke's control in ways he never expected. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to resist the chemistry simmering between them.

And then the threats begin.

Anonymous messages.
A break-in at Suzy's house.
A violent attack that proves someone is watching her far too closely.

Suddenly, keeping his distance is no longer an option.

Duke moves Suzy under his protection, determined to keep her safe no matter the cost. Forced into close quarters, the tension between them explodes into something far more dangerous than either of them is prepared for. Because beneath Duke's rough cowboy exterior is a man who would do anything for the people he loves-and once he decides Suzy is his, walking away is impossible.

But the closer Duke gets to uncovering who's targeting her, the more his own past comes crashing back into his life.

And this time, it threatens to destroy everything he's willing to fight for.

Tough Justice is a cowboy bodyguard romance that delivers forced proximity, best friend's little sister tension, protective hero obsession, workplace chemistry, romantic suspense, and a cowboy hero who will burn the world down to keep her safe.
