Cut and Run

Raised in the crime-infested neighborhood of South Boston, 21-year-old Rebecca Sheehan has learned the hard way that people can't be trusted. So when her unscrupulous boyfriend turns up without a pulse, she knows she needs to get out of Southie. Fast. She seeks refuge in the last place anyone would think to look for her Рthe picturesque town of Jackson, Wyoming. The locals in this small community live by a different set of standards, as Rebecca discovers when she finds work on a horse ranch. For once, she's surrounded by people she can take at face value, with one exception Рher snarky new boss, Alec Westin, who appears hell-bent on making her employment term as short as possible. With his self-righteous attitude, she'd gladly grant him his wish, if she wasn't so desperate for the job Рand if he wasn't so easy on the eyes. But after a chance encounter with his crippled father, Rebecca learns the truth behind Alec's callous fa̤ade. Suddenly he is no longer a tyrant, but a diligent man risking his entire livelihood to provide for his family. Moved by Alec's fortitude and his father's warmth, Rebecca finds herself increasingly drawn into their personal affairs Рand to Alec. Just when she thinks her murky past is behind her, a series of sinister threats confirms her greatest fear Рshe's being hunted. It's only a matter of time before her stalker finds her. And when he does, she'll discover just how much her friends are willing to risk Рand sacrifice Рto protect her.
