The Bribe

When a bison-rescue becomes a second chance encounter, Sheriff Duke Evans can't believe his luck—until he discovers his mysterious hiking companion is actually Lucy Ross, the country music star who vanished from the spotlight two weeks ago. Now she's offering him a bribe to keep quiet, but Duke's not interested in her money; he's determined to uncover why someone so famous would risk everything to disappear in small-town Montana. What unfolds is a slow-burn romance between a lawman who always gets his answers and a woman desperate to escape her old life, complete with all the small-town charm and genuine connection Devney Perry does so well. This one has heart, humor, and the kind of chemistry that makes you root for two people brave enough to start over.
