When Glory McCallahan’s cousin moved to Hoker, Kentucky, she felt like she’d lost her best friend. Then, Callie fell in love. To help with wedding arrangements, Glory joins her, but after, the plan is to get back to her perfectly ordered life. Glory has always played it safe, keeping her polished smile in place and her heart on lockdown. No way is she going to let the rugged, too-handsome younger brother of her cousin’s new husband mess with her plans. No matter how infuriating, irreverent, and impossible to ignore Kam may be.
Kam Norwood sees past Glory’s flawless surface, and when he notices she’s being accosted by a wedding guest, he gallantly steps in. What starts as a pretend rescue turns into a night of unexpected sparks. Kam’s not afraid of Glory’s sharp edges—or her secrets. So when the rejected guest turns out to be Glory’s angry ex and things escalate, Kam’s protective instincts kick in big-time.
Turns out, the sizzling attraction may be the one thing that can keep them both safe.
Glory Callahan is thrilled to see her cousin Callie get married. In fact, Glory moves to Hoker, Kentucky, so she can live closer to Callie. The two women are much more than cousins. After the tragic death of Glory’s parents, she was taken in by her aunt and uncle, and she and Callie grew up as close as sisters.
After the wedding, as Glory heads to her car, she is startled to be approached by Mike, a man she dated only three times. The red flags were obvious from the very beginning, and Glory made it abundantly clear that she wanted nothing more to do with him. She has no idea how he managed to track her down in Kentucky.
Mike, however, has other ideas. In his mind, Glory belongs to him, and he is convinced she will eventually realize they are meant to be together. If he has to force the issue, so be it. When Glory is shocked to find him waiting outside the wedding venue and tries to leave, Mike’s controlling behavior quickly turns aggressive. Thankfully, Kam - Callie’s new brother-in-law - steps in just in time. And Kam’s protective instincts don’t end there.
Both Glory and Kam have endured heartbreaking losses, yet each has found a way to build a stable life despite the pain. Their shared experiences create an immediate emotional connection, and what begins as concern gradually develops into something much deeper.
