Kailyn Eudailey witnesses her good friend, Gaby Mendoza, being killed by the Mexican Mafia. Kailyn is taken into protective custody, but the Conquistadores keep finding her. Someone in the US Marshall's office is leaking information. In a shootout at a cabin, Kailyn's protector is killed, but his son, Aaron Matthews, manages to safely whisk her away. On the run from the mafia and corrupt law enforcement, Kailyn and Aaron make their way from North Carolina to his real home in the desert Southwest, a place he hasn't been in over 20 years.
Aaron is a full-blooded Navajo Indian, but has learned to blend in as an FBI agent and be whoever he needs to be. Aaron and Kailyn arrive at his grandmother's home pretending to be husband and wife. Friends helped them get new identifications, a fake marriage license and everything they need to blend into the Rez with the Dine people. Aaron only has to keep Kailyn safe for three months until the trial. Can he protect this witness, a high-maintenance Southern belle, and also guard his heart?

only witness to a drug cartel execution, he hides Kailyn
Eudailey in the safest place he knows . . . the vast,

Transporting Kailyn to New Mexico may not be as easy as
Aaron would like. Kailyn is a high-maintenance Southern
belle who is determined to assert her independence at every
step. Although Aaron's job is to protect her from the
dangers that could get them both killed, Kailyn is getting
to him. As an undercover agent, Aaron has grown adept at
playing many roles. But will he be able to embrace his true
identity and Godβs plan for his life in order to keep Kailyn
alive?
