She was never meant to be his.but he's the one man she can't escape. A mistaken identity. A dangerous journey west. And a protector who was never supposed to fall in love. Riley Hastings thought she knew who she was-until the truth shatters everything. Her parents aren't dead. They're fugitives. And worse. she was never truly theirs. Determined to uncover their secrets and make them answer for the life they stole, Riley agrees to leave Boston and travel west to Oregon under the protection of an escort she's never met.
But when a rugged stranger arrives in his place-and calls her Amanda-it becomes clear she's been mistaken for another woman. a bride with a future she never chose. Adam McCall thought he was doing his best friend a favor-escorting a reluctant bride across the frontier. Instead, he finds himself protecting a woman who is nothing like the one he was promised. She's guarded, sharp-tongued, and hiding more than she's willing to admit-and the longer they travel together, the harder it becomes to keep his distance.
With danger closing in and the truth unraveling around them, every mile draws them deeper into a connection neither of them expected. and neither can afford. Because she was never his responsibility.and never meant to be his to kiss.
