Gleason: 3

She's hiding from a past that could get her killed... He's building a future he never thought he'd have. Gleason Pennington has finally found solid ground. With a new home rising, a second chance at life, and the family he's always needed, everything is falling into place-exactly the way it should. Until she walks into his world. Hailey Sheppard is running-quietly, carefully, and always one step ahead. After a violent night that left bodies behind and questions with no answers, she's learned to survive by staying invisible. Trusting no one has kept her alive. But Gleason sees her. And worse... he refuses to look away. As whispers of the truth behind the Golden Sheep grow louder and danger circles closer, Hailey's carefully built disguise begins to crack. The closer she gets to Gleason, the more she risks-not just her safety, but the guarded heart she swore no one would ever touch. Because some men offer protection... >A reason to stop running. In a town full of secrets, trusting the wrong person could cost her everything- But trusting the right one might save her.
