Duke Evans didn’t expect to interrupt a beautiful woman in a staring contest with a bison on his favorite hiking trail. He also didn’t expect to see her again after rescuing her from the surly beast. As the sheriff in Calamity, Montana, he’s had his fair share of surprises but none as pleasant as pulling over a shiny black car and finding his mysterious hiking companion behind the wheel.
Only, she lied to Duke. She gave him a name as fake as her hair color. According to her driver’s license, her real name is Lucy Ross, the famous country music singer whose sudden disappearance has been a hot topic in the media over the past two weeks.
He’s not sure why Lucy lied about her identity or why she’s in Calamity. And she’s not talking. Instead, she offers him a bribe to keep her secret.
But Duke doesn’t want her money. He wants to know why this woman is on the run. And as long as the star shines on his badge, he’s going to find out.
This was one of those books where you get lost in the story and the characters immediately. Duke, the sheriff of Calamity runs into Lucy while hiking in Yellowstone. They assume it was a one-off meeting and continue on their way only to run into each other again in Calamity. Lucy is determined to start a new life in Calamity and Duke is relentless to learn her secrets.
Duke and Lucy had sparks from the moment they met and that chemistry burned brightly. You knew Duke was going to protect Lucy, no matter what…even if she was trying her hardest to run. I loved them together and I loved how they somehow managed to get everyone around them to love them too.
I enjoyed the start of the Calamity series and I can’t wait to read what happens in book 2.
