Mine

by Dee Lloyd

Cadie Haywood arrives at the Nighthawk Lake property she inherited, desperate for solitude. Marc Banachek, however, her grandfather's unfriendly—if gorgeous—tenant, insists she honor his lease. He and his huge ungainly puppy, Lurch, refuse to leave the guest cabin. Ironically, Pop, who had prospected all over North America, discovered gold on his own land just before he died. Cadie won't sell the property even though ugly warnings escalate to attempts on her life. The last thing Cadie wants is a protector or lover. But Marc, the hard-bitten ex-cop turned crime-writer with his unshakable integrity and deeply buried vulnerability, proves irresistible. Although Marc tries to keep his distance, he falls hard for Cadie's zest for life and feisty nature. Yet will he be able to protect her from a would-be killer with a lust for gold?
