Fierce Protector Of The Grieving Beauty (Fortune In Ely Series)

A tragic romance…a strong shoulder to cry on…and…a hell-bent jealous rival?

Sweet Suzie Mason has already known the despair and grief of losing the man of her dreams. Her beloved Luke was killed several years ago, and though she’s mostly overcome the crushing blow, she has not yet found a way to move on with her life. She’s just beginning to realize that she might have feelings for the most unlikely person imaginable—his best friend, and her childhood friend, Adam. However, she has a big problem on her hands.

Fiercely protective Adam Caldwell knows that his dead best friend’s fiancée probably isn’t the ideal choice as the love of his life, but Adam will do whatever it takes to keep Suzie safe. He’ll even try to deny his feelings for her if it protects her from harm. However, when a gang of outlaws—led by the daughter of the sheriff of Ely—threatens not only her life, but his, Adam knows that something has to be done right away. She has to be stopped.

Now Suzie and Adam, along with their friends and family members, have to do something drastic, even if it means taking the life of someone they’ve known from birth. Her actions have consequences, for her and others, but a sudden shift in the gang’s loyalty will come as the biggest shock of them all.

Will Suzie decide to move past her grief and allow her heart to love again—or will the jealous woman rob her of any chance she’s ever had to be happy?

Can Adam tell Suzie about his feelings and risk losing not only romance, but her friendship in the process? Is it too much of a risk to take for the both?
