The Buried PromiseA Sierra Rose Ridge Romance

I came to Sierra Rose Ridge to paint a chapel, not dig up a three-year-old murder.

But when I find human remains hidden beneath the mission floor, the town's brooding sheriff becomes my shadow. Wolf Mora has a personal stake in this cold case—and now that I've accidentally cracked it wide open, someone wants me silenced.

Wolf doesn't trust outsiders. Doesn't let anyone close. But he's not leaving my side, and these late-night painting sessions are getting dangerously heated. His hands steady my scaffolding. His body blocks the door. And when he looks at me like I'm the only thing standing between him and the darkness? I forget this job was supposed to be temporary.

The killer's watching. Wolf's past is catching up. And I'm falling for a man who swears he buried the idea of love a long time ago.

Good thing I'm an artist. I see what's hidden beneath the surface—including the heart he claims doesn't exist anymore.

???? A scorching small-town romantic suspense with a protective sheriff, touch-her-and-die energy, and Southwest heat that has nothing to do with the desert.

✨ Perfect for readers craving spicy romance with danger, obsessive heroes, and guaranteed HEA.
