To Protect His Own — Jen Talty

New York State Trooper Jake Prichard turned his back on the family farm, the family fortune, and his lying, manipulative father. But when someone tries to kill his dad, Jake reluctantly returns home to investigate. Only, his father isn't the real target. It's the farm's manager and Jake's first love.

Kenzie Chorley has worked at The Cavanaugh Equestrian Center since she was sixteen. It's all she's ever known, and all she's ever wanted…other than Jake. But when he walked away from the farm, he walked away from her, too. In an attempt to heal old wounds, they rekindle their passion, but the pain of the past is too strong, leaving Kenzie alone, bereft, and pregnant.

Now someone is threatening not only the farm she cherishes, but her unborn child's heritage. If Kenzie wants to hold onto the only man she's ever loved, she's going to have to dig up the darkest betrayal of all. A secret she's kept from Jake since a childhood.

A lie so damming it holds the power to destroy the very thing she's trying to save…
