Sam (Big Northwest Book 4)

Sam has been accustomed to keeping secrets for a long time. From concealing the true identities of herself and her sisters to downplaying the extent of her ongoing struggle to move forward, there's a lot that she has chosen to hold close to her chest. And there's also plenty that she has intentionally pushed away.

Tate should fall into the latter category. He is at least partially responsible for the incident that she has been unable to put behind her, and there's no denying that he is a quintessential male. These two factors alone make him a less than ideal candidate for her trust and affection.

The third strike against Tate comes when he shows up in Shadow Pine and parks his fifth wheel right next to her house. Again. He is ready to serve as her round-the-clock bodyguard, a prospect that is not nearly as awful as she would like it to be.

Having Tate hovering at her side, glaring at any man who comes too close, is not as unpleasant as Sam wants it to be. Because Tate makes her feel a way she hasn't in a very long time – safe.

However, Tate is hiding a secret of his own. One that brings something dangerous to Shadow Pine. Something determined to steal this newfound happiness right out from under her.

Sam is the fourth book in the BIG Northwest series and is best read in the intended order. It features a growly, protective hero, a thirty-something heroine who is still a virgin, a single-dad(ish) dynamic, secrets, paranormal suspense, no third-act breakup, and low angst.
