Everyone, look at this prescription pad. 🩺

It's blank. On purpose. Because Matthew VanRyan is an ER doctor who can fix anything literally except his own heart, and love is the ONE prescription he refuses to fill.

Then he walks into a bakery ten minutes before closing, looking for an emergency cake, and meets Maddy.

Right person, wrong time, doctor and nurse, second chance, a hospital lobby reunion. Standalone, no cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA guaranteed.

BLURB

 

My father calls it protection. 

I call it exile. 

After the man I was supposed to marry shatters my life, my father sends me to a remote ranch in Black Hollow Creek, Montana, with one order: Stay put. Heal. Move on. 

Instead, I spend my days clashing with Sawyer Bishop. 

The broody cowboy who can't stand me. The rancher my father trusts with my life. The man who's always watching. 

He thinks I'm spoiled. I think he's insufferable. 

Neither of us expects our constant battles to turn into late-night conversations, lingering glances, and the kind of tension that's impossible to outrun. 

Somewhere between all the fighting, Sawyer becomes the first person to make me laugh again. The first man I've trusted. And the ranch becomes the first place that feels like home since my world fell apart. 

But monsters don't stop hunting their prey just because it runs. 

The past I came here to escape has finally caught up with me. Only this time... It isn't just my life on the line. 

And the people coming for me are about to learn why no one in Montana crosses a Bishop. 

Because Sawyer Bishop doesn't just protect what's his. 

He buries anyone who tries to take it.

BOOK FULL DESCRIPTION 

ANDIE

Nine years ago, I ran for my life.

Since then, I've slowly rebuilt what was taken from me. But it’s risky to let my roots grow too deep. Anyone I let close could pay the price if my past catches up with me.

Then Cooper moves in next door.

The devastatingly handsome sheriff and his teenage son aren’t supposed to become part of my carefully ordered world. Yet between shared meals, stolen glances, and the way they make room for me in their lives, I find myself craving the home and family I swore wasn’t in the cards.

Except, the moment Cooper learns who I really am, he'll have every reason to walk away.


COOPER

 

Coming home to Swift Rivers was supposed to be about family: helping my father recover and giving my son a chance to start over.

Falling for my neighbor wasn't part of the plan.

Andie is beautiful, guarded, and hiding something. But the more time my son and I spend with her, the more I see the caring woman behind the cautious smiles—the one determined to shoulder her burdens alone. Now all I want is a future that includes her forever at my side.

When the shadows she once escaped creep into Swift Rivers, protecting her becomes the only thing that matters.

As danger closes in and the truth comes to light, we'll have to decide whether our scars and secrets are reasons to walk away—or reasons to finally choose love and stay.

Welcome to Swift Rivers, where heroes fall hard, cowgirls fight back, and love is the bravest rescue of all. An interconnected, standalone series that can be read in any order.

Tag Line: A small-town sheriff falls for his neighbor—a woman on the run.

ABOUT LJ EVANS:

Award-winning author LJ Evans lives in Northern California with her husband, child, and the three terrors called cats. She's written compulsively since she was a little girl, often getting derailed from what she should be doing by a song lyric that sends her scrambling to jot a scene down. 

A former first-grade teacher, she now spends her days deep in the pages of romance and mystery with a bit of the otherworldly thrown in. Her favorite characters are those who live resiliently—stubbornly and triumphantly getting through this wild ride called life with hope, love, and found families guiding the way. 

Her novels have won multiple industry awards, including CHARMING AND THE CHERRY BLOSSOM which was Writer’s Digest’s Self-Published E-book Romance of the Year.
