Crushed

What’s the price of survival?

Sawyer McKinney didn’t want to come back. It wasn’t like anyone wanted to see her ever again anyway.

But this was about life or death, and that meant there was only one place she could go.

If Jesse Hale never saw Sawyer again, it would be too soon. After all the devastation she left behind years ago, he can’t imagine why she’d ever show her face again.

When Jesse learns that Sawyer needs personal protection, he has a choice to make. Either turn her away and never forgive himself if something happens to her or risk his heart and keep her safe.

Just as Jesse agrees to help her, Sawyer decides that the price is too high. She’d rather be dead than be crushed by Jesse’s combat boots again.
