River Wild by B.J. Daniels
Every time Sheriff Stuart Layton opened his door in the dead of night to Bailey McKenna, he fell more in love with her. If only she would tell him what she was running from. When she finally did, the clock was ticking. He had a killer to find — before the man came after Bailey again.
In the fourth installment in the POWDER RIVER series by New York Times bestselling author BJ Daniels, we finally find out what the anti-hero sheriff is made of! River Wild is about two damaged individuals who find comfort in each other, learn to trust and fall in love. Every time Sheriff Stuart Layton opened his door in the dead of night to Bailey McKenna, he fell more in love with her. But all his instincts told him that she was in trouble. If only she would tell him what she was running from. It took the murder of a young woman who was the mirror image of Bailey for him to find out. This time when Bailey showed up at his door, she finally trusted him enough to tell him that she’d been attacked, almost killed, by the same man who’d also branded her — just as he had the dead young woman. Bailey fears it is a message that he is coming for her again. She’s been searching for him for years (she never saw his face), uncovering so many secrets about other people that she’s written a book about the locals of Powder River Basin. The sheriff is terrified that he will lose her before he can find the killer, a local rancher who has stay hidden well. The only way to flush him out is another event just like the one where she was attacked. The clock was ticking. The hero had a killer to find — before the man comes after Bailey again and this time finishes the job.
