The Bear and the Lamb

SHE PRAYED FOR FREEDOM. THE STARS SENT HER AN OUTLAW. Alice Sherman has spent years swallowing her voice in a marriage that pays her loyalty back with bruises and cold silence. By day, she runs her husband‘s country inn. By night, she looks to the stars, praying for a way out of the life she never chose. She never expected that prayer to arrive in the form of a dying outlaw-dragged in chains through her front door and left in her care. He‘s dangerous. He‘s defiant. And when Alice touches him, he looks at her like she‘s the one with the power. As secrets unravel and passions ignite, Alice must choose the life she was forced into or the man who could burn it all down just to set her free. Set against the brutal beauty of the American frontier, The Bear and the Lamb is a dark Western romance for readers who crave slow-burn heat, scarred antiheroes, and heroines who rise from the ashes of the life meant to break them.
