The Fitzpatrick compound has fallen, and the men leading it are gone. With members scattering to other settlements, it's only a matter of time until someone gets ideas. Ideas involving a certain Fitzpatrick Princess.
Meredith ran from her family years ago. Her grandmother needed her help, but that's not the only reason she left. She wanted out, and nearly a thousand miles seemed like a safe enough distance, until her father's right hand man breaks into her house, intent to claim her and take over.
She can't go back, she won't go back.
James will do anything to protect the family he helped build, and that includes Jack's younger sister, Meredith. When the men they're trying to hunt down find Meredith instead, Jack didn't even have to ask him to come to Mere's to protect her, he volunteered himself. But when the days turn into weeks, will they be able to deny the attraction they still feel for each other, the fire that's survived the years of distance despite the danger they're in? And what will James be willing to sacrifice to keep her safe?
