Wind River Protector

Discover the true meaning of love and freedom in the American West with the Wind River Valley series by New York Times bestselling author, U.S. Navy veteran, and genre pioneer Lindsay McKenna. With her signature military heroes and a western romance setting, this distinguished author's finest talents combine in this eighth installment of the engrossing series that RT Book Reviews calls "a tribute to vets and a love letter to the wild beauty of Wyoming," as a female Air Force veteran healing from a helicopter crash on Wind River Ranch finds herself in charge of an ex-Army Black Hawk pilot who may be too hot to handle.

The new novel from the bestselling author of Home to Wind River.

Real love is worth every risk . . .

Ex-Air Force pilot Andy Whitcomb loves nothing more than the wide blue skies, but when a helicopter crash fighting forest fires in California leaves her injured and shaken, she's ready to return home to the peace of Wind River Ranch. The good news is, there's a chance for her to fly helos for the county sheriff's department. The bad news? The person in charge is none other than Dev Mitchell, an ex-Army Black Hawk pilot-and the rugged, sharp-eyed man Andy has never forgotten after five days together running from the Taliban after a nerve-wracking near-miss in Afghanistan.

Dev can't believe his eyes when Andy walks into the interview. She's as strong and sexy as he remembers, and every bit qualified for the job, which she clearly wants. Unfortunately, if he's going to be her boss, their relationship has to remain strictly professional-a regret Dev fights to keep hidden as they begin to work together. But when a chance encounter with violent drug traffickers forces them into survival mode, both of them will fight to hold on to the connection they can't ignore-and the chance of a future together.
