A Texas Lawman will do anything to protect his son—even if it includes reuniting with the boy’s on-the-run mother…
Lucas Ryland always had a way with the ladies—until Hailey Darrow dropped him after a shared night of passion. Then he discovered her unconscious body in a wrecked car, with a fake ID and enough cash to disappear. Unbeknownst to him, the one who got away was leaving town with his baby…
Now Hailey is out of her coma and still in danger. But hiding her at his Silver Creek ranch ignites old passions…and introduces new dangers. Lucas must use every protective instinct in his arsenal to keep Hailey and their infant son safe. And keep his body from remembering how good it felt to hold her in his arms…
The Lawmen of Silver Creek Ranch
Before he could talk himself out of it, Lucas reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“I’m just so scared,” she admitted. “Not for me but for Camden and you. For your family.”

Hailey looked up at him at the exact moment he looked down at her. He was so not ready for this. Well, his mind and heart weren’t anyway, but the rest of him seemed to think it was a good idea to kiss her or something.
Especially something.
The heat came. Memories, too. Vivid memories of Hailey naked and beneath him in his bed.
The very bed that was just up the hall.

Texas Ranger Lucas Ryland stared at the bed in the room at the Silver Creek Hospital.
It was empty.
He touched his fingers to the sterile white covers, already knowing they wouldn’t be warm. According to the doctor, no one had been in that bed for at least the last fifteen minutes.
Maybe longer.
Mumbling something that Lucas didn’t catch, Dr. Alfred Parton paced across the room. The doctor had already told Lucas that he wasn’t sure how long the patient had been missing. That was one of the first things
