Stubborn Love (Cedar Hill Romance #2)

Jim Donovan... A patient man, he can out wait a slow-foaling mare and survive camping out with a dozen fifth grade boys. Self-control hides the warrior persona he’s chosen to set aside. But when a stalker targets the woman he wants, and his new partner comes on to her, Jim's patience runs out. How much of a saint can an ex-black ops Marine be?
Sally Johnston has been on her own since her husband’s death and is used to taking care of herself. She intends to ignore the anonymous messages she’s getting and doesn’t want or need anyone’s protection. But every time she turns around Jim is there, keeping her safe, yes—but also driving her crazy.
Just being near him stokes Sally’s desire, but will she let him thaw her frozen heart?
