She testified against the man she loved. Now someone is hunting her.
Vivian Caruso had two years of willful ignorance and one night of courage. She found the gun, made the call, and walked into a federal courtroom to point at the man who’d shared her bed. Now she’s Meg Dalton — a bartender in a small Montana town with three deadbolts, a fake smile, and six months of silence slowly eating her alive.
He was supposed to protect her. He wasn’t supposed to want her.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Caleb Weston has one rule: don’t get attached. He broke it the moment she opened the door. Now witnesses from the same case are turning up dead, the system is too slow to save her, and the only thing standing between Vivian and a professional killer is a man who’s already lost one witness and refuses to lose another — even if it costs him everything.
The danger is getting closer. So are they.
When a charming stranger arrives in town with a camera and a smile that hides something lethal, Vivian’s carefully constructed life begins to crack. Caleb moves in to protect her. The proximity is unbearable. The rules are clear. And the line between protector and lover is disappearing — one sleepless night, one almost-touch, one whispered name at a time.
But the man hunting Vivian isn’t just thorough. He’s patient. And he’s already been inside her house.
The Witness is a steamy romantic suspense novel with a slow-burn romance, a strong heroine who refuses to be a victim, and a hero who’ll burn his career to the ground before he lets anyone touch her. Contains mature content.
