Love, Tussles, and Takedowns

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Nice Girl series comes a new standalone novel in the USA Today bestselling Cactus Creek series.

He’s a better fighter.  But she has all the weapons. 

After his combat injuries retire him from the military career he wasn’t ready to give up, battle-scarred Hudson Reyes now spends the days of his new life as a movie industry fight scene and weapons specialist doing what he knows best: surviving. Until he meets her.  The unpredictable enigma who makes him want to live again.  Antique-arms-authenticator-by-day and self-defense-instructor-by-night Liana Lin is a scrappy little thing–a sweet, angel-faced paradox with hidden wounds as deep as his own.

And a wicked roundhouse kick that’s become intimately familiar with his head.
