Edith “Eddy” Wheeler was having a bad day.
A no good, very bad day.
It’s understandable, really. I mean, there didn’t seem to be anything worse than walking in on your elderly parents doing things no child should ever see. Add into that their proclivities, and Eddy is disgusted and disturbed.
So of course, after seeing the atrocious things her parents—the pastor and pastor’s wife that are supposed to be holy and a teacher of faith—are into, she makes it her life goal to expose them to their masses. The cult-like following her father has will see him for the man he is—an abuser who gets a sick thrill at seeing his girls suffer.
She will no longer allow the people of Sawtooth, Montana, to think that they’re safe when they’re anything but.
That’s where Weaver Grant comes in.
A sexy lineman who climbs poles for a living, has forearms that can break a woman in mind, body, and soul, and a smile that does things deep inside of her that she refuses to acknowledge just yet.
She has a plan.
A really good one, too.
But that plan dies a thousand deaths when she’s attacked by a bear on a hike that she was using to cleanse her soul. She thought she was supposed to be afraid of men, but that rabid bear showed her a new side of herself.
She spends weeks in the hospital, and a certain hot lineman takes it upon himself to see her healthy again. He never leaves her side. He solves all her problems. And he shows her how a real man treats a woman.
But once she’s healed and her world is once again righted, will he have a reason to stay since she no longer needs saving?

The characters in the story are portrayed with a mix of good and bad traits, but Creed and Birdee stand out as likable and relatable individuals. Birdee's character transforms as her true self is revealed, shedding light on the hardships she has endured. Bernice, a supporting character, deserves recognition for her relentless efforts to clear her brother's name.
The plot unfolds with unexpected twists, family drama, and a surprising ending that keeps readers engaged. Creed's initial mistake is followed by redemption, showcasing his loyalty and love for Birdee.
The story also features Apollo, a beloved character from past series, and introduces us to the characters in the new Dixen Warden MC Montana chapter.
While the romance in this series is portrayed with a softer tone compared to other works by the author, the emotional depth and themes of second chances and found family resonate with readers. Despite the absence of comedic moments typical of the author's style, the introduction of new characters adds depth to the narrative, setting the stage for future stories in the series. We loved it and can't wait to see what happens next.
