Whisper a Kiss — Laura Haley-McNeil

He broke a promise to save her life.
Her shattered heart will never let her trust.

Will a stalker force her into the arms of the man who abandoned her, or will her dead father's secret tear them apart forever?

Hunter Whitloch's Wall Street career is on the fast track until he learns about his boss', Egon Gregory, underhanded dealings. Hunter's and Egon's confrontation means Hunter must turn a blind eye or return to Crystal Creek and walk away from a lucrative career and the only woman he's ever loved -- Egon's daughter, Bryce. Hunter won't let Bryce make a choice between him and her father, so he makes that choice for her and leaves.

Bryce watched Hunter walk out of her life and never expected to see him again -- until he shows up at her father's funeral. The mystery deepens when Bryce learns her father asked Hunter to return to New York -- the night her father died. The authorities have ruled Egon's death a suicide but attempts on Bryce's life unearth more questions than answers -- namely who can she trust? The man who abandoned her a year ago, or her father's right-hand man who wants to seize control of her company?

After Egon's funeral Hunter has to return to Crystal Creek, but he won't leave Bryce as bait to someone who wants her dead. But Crystal Creek isn't the haven he expected. Soon he and Bryce race against the clock to find out what secret died with Egon. Once they know, can they endure the pain that has them fighting to protect their lives and their hearts?
