Bayou Secrets - Kari Trumbo - Bog

She's dropped on his ranch with nowhere to turn.
He's sworn to serve and protect, no matter the cost or who burns him.

Emily Miller, formerly Mia Fairchild, is on the run for her life after an attempted kidnapping. No one believes her when she says her uncle is innocent. However, when someone follows her to a tiny town in Louisiana, Mia must learn to trust a stranger for her survival. Even though it's obvious he doesn't want her there.
Former Investigator for the Baton Rouge PD, Ted "Booker" Owens is committed to justice. Unfortunately, his team wasn't. His twin brother is the only one on the force who sides with Ted, leaving him dismissed from duty. When he's offered a reprieve if he watches a woman in witness protection, he doesn't want the job.

Too bad he's not given the choice.

After another attempt to abduct Mia leaves her shaken, Ted brings his retired K-9 buddy out to help protect her. The stakes rise with every attempt and the man looking for Mia might be closer than anyone thinks.
