About this ebook

In Morgan Valley, two wary loners discover they’re perfect together . . .
 
Beth Baker can tell that her summer tenant wants to be left to himself, and that suits her more than fine. Conner O’Neil is a brooding, retired Navy SEAL whose only friend seems to be his pet half-wolf, Loki. But Beth becomes concerned when Loki turns up on her doorstep, demanding she follow him back to Conner’s cabin . . .
 
Ailing, Conner would rather stay holed up like a wounded animal than allow anyone to nurse him back to health. But he quickly learns that resisting Beth is futile. Another discovery: they have more in common than he expected. She’s an irresistible blend of strength and gentleness, and soon enough, Conner wants to show her it’s okay to trust him, because he’ll never let trouble reach her side again . . .

Ratings and reviews

Beth Baker wears several hat, juggling duties as mother, physical therapist and part time ranch employee. Conner O’Neil former Navy SEAL is reticent and somewhat reclusive as he deals with his personal issues including PTSD. When he sustains a serious injury, Beth tends to his wound. Soon the emotional barriers fall, each providing support, as attraction builds between the two. It was a relatively quick read, that I enjoyed. I would have liked it to be longer to build more depth.

4 Stars! Cute, fast-paced, quick read, perfect for a day at the beach. This was previously an anthology ‘Lone Wolf in Morgan Valley’, can be read as a standalone novella and this book is now part of ‘The Miller’s of Morgan Valley’ series. Beth and Connor are the main characters and Beth has two teen sons, Mikey and Wes. Didn’t really mention any of Connors past but does mention Beth’s past with an abusive ex-husband quite a bit…. *I received this book free & voluntarily reviewed this book.*

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily reviewing it. I had previously read this story when the anthology Lone Wolf was released. I loved it then and I had to re-read it (as Ms. Pearce is a favorite author of mine!) Dang I just get lost in her stories especially the Morgantown ones! This is told from a dual POV format. That really helps me to identify with both of the characters. It helps for a more enjoyable story. While this story takes place over
