Loving Deep (Steele Ridge)

Friction turns to sizzle when a rugged, small town hero goes from enemies to lovers with a bar owner who resents becoming a woman in peril. At least until she's targeted by a trophy hunter willing to commit murder to get what he wants.

Britt Steele is fiercely protective of what he loves. Even if it means putting his own ambitions aside. He's worked too hard keeping a red wolf pack from extinction to let some city girl auction off their sanctuary. But Randi is no pushover. He's watched--and wanted--her from behind a whiskey glass for months. She's determined, much too tempting, and quickly turning Britt's attempts at persuasion into seduction. And he'll need every weapon in the Steele arsenal to change her mind.

Miranda Shepherd's bar is her passion, but money's flowing out faster than she can pour a drink. To save her business, Randi must sell her family's land to the highest bidder. One man stands in her way: ruggedly sexy Britt Steele. The definition of strong and silent, Britt's gruff exterior hides a raw vulnerability she's aching to explore. Yet Randi knows all about sacrificing for your dreams--and isn't willing to give up on hers so easily. Still, Britt's heated caresses are all too convincing.

Some offers are too good to be true. When the buyer's real motive surfaces, Randi and Britt join forces against a ruthless hunter. But protecting the wolves leaves them fighting for their own lives...and their new love.

USA Today bestselling author Tracey Devlyn wanted to be the next Dian Fossey and explore the wilds of Africa, but that was before she met chemistry and calculus and realized a business major, rather than a science degree, might be a better fit.

With an enthusiasm for research that translates into creative (and disturbing) plot twists for her characters to navigate, it's no surprise that her suspense-laden stories excite her readers and offer a glimpse of the nefarious nature lurking behind her sweet smile. Despite the thrilling, emotional ride Tracey gives her readers, she enjoys an annoyingly normal lifestyle with her husband and rescue dogs at her suburban home outside Chicago.
