After starting over in Rose Mountain with her infant daughter, Maggie Bennett thought they were safe. Getting caught in the middle of a bank robbery changes everything—and introduces her to policeman Reese Kirkpatrick. Reese is everything her abusive late husband wasn’t, but he has his own baggage. And when a shocking betrayal puts Maggie at risk, Reese must decide if protecting his heart is worth losing a chance at love.

Enjoyed being with these authors again. The first one I had read three years ago. I didn't know I had until I got into the story. Reese and Maggie story was fun to read again. It was exciting from start to finish. It didn't take long for them to fall in love. Both needed a second chance at love. Belle also needed a dad who loved her. Chloe and Ben story was exciting too. Chloe needed a new start a so did Ben. Ben became her protector the one that she needed. He and the sheriff Jake helped her find who was after her. Ben even came to her aide after someone took her. Abel and Cain the puppies were sweet. Love came to Ben and Chloe once again. Will read more by these authors.
Danger on the Mountain / Strangers in the Shadows was a very interesting book to read. I got the message I think it was trying to tell me. But it took me a while to read it.
