Spring Surprise

What wouldn’t you do to protect the ones you love?

Neely James- After one “accident too many,” I leave Atlanta, going off grid to do it. I’m on a mission: Hide—while seeking retired soldier-turned-mechanic, Tobias James, in Wintervale, Montana, while my ‘club sisters’ figure out why I have a target on my back.
My fascination and attraction since discovering Tobias James and I share the same surname are concerning, but the connection between us is as real as it gets and yet more tenuously complicated than what appears because Tobias James is the father of my newborn son.
Tobias James- No romantic relationships equals no drama. I learned my lesson the hard way years ago. Now I’m a “one-and-done” kind of man. That is until Neely James—yeah, I’m suspicious too—arrives and turns my life upside down. Instinct tells me there’s more going on than Neely is letting on, and I have news for her—she and this kid aren’t going anywhere until I expose every one of her secrets and prove TJ is my son… and even then, I may not let them go.
