And yet the newest maid, Eve, leaves him stymied. She’s heart-stoppingly gorgeous, one of the worst maids he has ever encountered, and is holding on to dark secrets—ones that engage his every need to protect and shield her from whatever darkness eats at her.
She’s a total thorn in his side, turning him inside out and tying him up in knots with unquenchable desire. Due to the severity of his fascination, he cuts a wide berth around her, figuring it’s best to stay as far away from her as possible…
Until she comes to him one night and begs him to teach her self-defense. Duncan discovers he can’t contain his need any longer, not when she is looking to him for guidance—and like his every fantasy come to life. He yearns to have her on her knees, begging for his dominance.
And when she becomes a target, he will do whatever it takes to save her.

Highly recommend the whole series.
Kate Jefferson's life was turned upside when the man she was with, Silas, and his brother, Trevor, robbed their family-founded bank. Kate was a witness to the crime and responsible for the guilty verdict of the Cleveland brothers. The story begins with Kate entering the home that has been in her family for several generations and being confronted by Trevor. When he attacks her, she fights back and escapes, but not before she injures him. The police are no help, and a restraining order is a useless piece of paper, so Kate starts changing her name and goes on the run. Eve Carruthers is created and her new alias. She will see an ad in the newspaper for a maid at Silver Springs Ranch and applies and is hired.
Duncan Bowers was hired at Silver Springs Ranch and takes individuals, families, and groups on survival hikes. He met the new maid, actually scared her when she didn't realize he was there. What a shock when Duncan returns from a camping trip to learn he has a two-day survival hike and camping by request—and then discovers it is Eve who hired him, wanting to learn survival skills.
The story's plot is full of secrets, ones that Eve hates telling, knowing that it is all a lie. Duncan realizes that Eve is hiding things, but he teaches her what she wants to learn for self-defense and wilderness survival skills. Previously he found Eve at Cabin X and got upset that she was there. Eve had needed to use the restroom and, by chance, discovered the BDSM cabin that has her curious. The chemistry between these two is thick, yet something they have skirted around. She will kiss Duncan, and he warns her not to do that again unless she wants to take things further. When she kisses him on their camping outing, he warns her again, and she kisses him again, wanting more. This will set the tale into motion with these two.
Duncan: I told you not to kiss me unless you planned to see It through. I won't do this yo-yo BS where you put the brakes on.
Eve: What are you going to do, spank me?
Duncan: I should. Go. To. Bed.
Eve: I will. But not alone.
Duncan: Be sure. I kiss you again; I doubt I will be able to stop.
Eve: I want you, Duncan. Be with me.
"For the first time since leaving her home and name behind, she wanted to confide in him, hand him all her problems, and lean."
The story has the good, the bad, and the evil of people. Eve becomes friends with several of the other ladies at the ranch. She and Duncan start sharing meals and each other's beds when he isn't out with campers. Eve still worries that Trevor is after her, he isn't going to give up, and when he finds her, he will kill her. Eve finally realizes she has to share her story, she starts with Amber and her friends, who all offer her support, but she doesn't share her real name. When she realizes that the girls are supportive, she shares the truth with Duncan, who vows he will protect her—not only him but all the men on the ranch.
"I’ve got you. I won’t ever let you fall.”
Now that her secret is out, she feels better because she opened up to Duncan—their relationship is stronger and getting serious, something neither of them ever expected to happen. Will their happiness be destroyed when Trevor catches up with her? Will it send Eve on the run again? The story had me on an emotional roller-coaster ride towards the end, and I was crying.
“A life loving Duncan was more than she had ever thought possible. And she didn’t want to miss a thing.”
The things I liked was the author in this story to have gotten their stride and made a story that fleshed out the characters a bit more and didn’t over do the Dom part of the relationship.
Where things are still needing work is the almost text book rendition of what a Navy Seal is, for me it came across as mechanical and paint by the numbers. Eve running a bank where it sounded like she was doing it solo and then taking off and expecting things to continue to operate without her input?!?! That part made no sense.
Many things were brought up throughout the story and dropped almost as soon as it was brought up…one instance Eve’s reaction when she is scared and stressed is to throw up which she did all over Duncan’s shoes…that seemed to be a one-time thing even though she was scared and stressed throughout most of the story. Lots of other thing like that are mentioned where you think it’s going to have relevancy and then it just fades away.
Since most of the guys that work on the farm are Dom’s they seem to talk more like high school boys about women and for me that’s a little off putting. The bad guy…how come they always know where to find the person they are hunting for? I mean they can get their hands on them pretty easily and the women always goes peacefully…duh so they could be rescued ok my bad totally forgot that old worn-out cliché was going to make an appearance.
There are a lot more holes in the plot that don’t make any sense to me. So focusing on the good loved the dog , Sampson and his antics, watching Eve grow a backbone and Duncan not going full on Dom with sir or master.
I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.

a more peaceful life that the demons can be put to better use. Duncan takes clients from the hotel on survival camping trips which have been successful overs the years and brought Eli, and Matt into silver springs. Being a strong alpha male he was never interested in settling down just Sampson the dog and him.was sufficient until eve carruthers aka katy Jefferson come to Silver springs in hope of hiding in the shadows so her last don't come knocking on the door. Enjoyable series and excellent storyline action packed full of tears ,joys and laughter . Love the characters and Sampson too.

Great how all previous characters drop in and out throughout the book too, plus can't wait for Amber and Lincoln's story next!!
