Used book – A Mother on the Run; Her Seductive Protector, Elle James, B.J. Daniels, Lisa Bellongues, Christine Boyer

Runaway Mother: When the stranger's blue eyes fall on her, Kayla is distraught. She has never been so troubled by a man, she who, after too many romantic disappointments, has decided to give up on love and have a baby on her own. But when the stranger introduces himself, Kayla feels her attraction to him give way to panic: his name is Gabe McGregor, he is the local police chief, and he is investigating the murder of a young girl, which happened just a few steps from the cottage where she has just moved in. Kayla is about to faint. To protect the life growing inside her, and despite the protection Gabe offers her, she will have to flee. Again. Because clearly, the man who assaulted her a few weeks earlier in Seattle has found her again. Such an Alluring Protector: Denver has made a solemn promise to herself: since the police refuse to believe it was a murder, she will single-handedly shed light on the death of Max, her beloved uncle. But to do so, she would first have to get rid of J.D. Garrison, her childhood sweetheart, who is back in town after years of absence and is striving to make her life impossible. Convinced that she is next on the murderer's list, J.D. has decided to watch over her day and night. A closeness that annoys Denver as much as it reassures her.
