      “Did the kidnapper give you a deadline?”

      Matt’s voice was calm, as if he dealt with this sort of thing every day. For a second, Emma allowed herself to believe he could fix things. That he could find her baby before anything bad happened. And perhaps he could. Weren’t park rangers good at tracking?

      “Three days,” she said, a lump forming in her throat. “He wants half a million dollars in three days.”

      “And you don’t have it.”

      “No.” She jerked her head up, glaring at Matt. “My God, do you think I’d be here if I did? Do you think I care about money? I’d give him ten times that amount if it meant getting Christina back safely! I’d do anything to hold her again.” Her arms ached with the memory of her baby, warm and soft against her body. Would she ever feel that sweet weight again? Christina was her life. She’d never stop looking for her daughter, never rest until she found her.

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome to the second book in my Rangers of Big Bend series! This is one of those stories that grabbed me by the throat and demanded to be written. I started with the image of Emma standing next to an empty crib and the book unfolded from there.

      Emma is a woman facing every mother’s worst nightmare—her baby has been taken. Desperate to find her daughter, she’s forced to turn to a stranger for help.

      Matt isn’t sure what to think about Emma. But when he realizes she’s telling the truth about her baby’s kidnapping, he’s determined to do whatever he can to help her.

      Emma and Matt are complicated people, with their fair share of past heartbreaks. I enjoyed getting to know them both, and discovering how they put loss and betrayal behind them to move forward in their lives. I hope you’ll like their story, too.

      Happy reading!

       Lara
