Recon Daddy (Timber Creek Daddies #2)

He’s the last man she should trust… and the only one who can keep her alive.

Rhett Dawson doesn’t do complications.
As Haven 7’s recon specialist, he lives by one find the threat, end it, and get everyone home breathing.
But when a call comes in about a young woman running for her life in the Timber Creek backcountry, Rhett breaks protocol—and storms into a whiteout to bring her out.

Emma Lincoln is all wide eyes and quiet bravery, too innocent for the kind of danger stalking her. She swears she doesn’t know why she’s being hunted—only that someone wants her gone, and they’re getting closer by the hour. Rhett sees the truth the second he finds she’s terrified, bruised, and keeping secrets that could get her killed.

Now he’s forced to hide her at Haven 7—one remote cabin, one bed, and one grumpy mountain man who doesn’t touch what he can’t protect.
Rhett is older, harder, and built for war… but she makes him want things he has no business wanting. Especially when she looks at him like he’s safety itself.

The problem?
The enemy didn’t just follow her into Timber Creek…

They came for Haven 7 too.

And Rhett doesn’t rescue women halfway.
Once he decides she’s his to protect, he’ll use every ruthless skill he’s got to keep her—even if he has to burn the mountain down to do it.
