captivating. Defying My Duty pulls no punches, taking readers on a rollercoaster of

Jack thought he’d left everything behind when he walked away from Kansas and his
past, but life has other plans. Piper Falls, Texas, isn’t just a dot on the map—it’s his
new battleground. With the criminal King in his sights, Jack is determined to see
justice served, no matter the cost. But he never counted on Tatum.
Tatum’s arrival in Piper Falls is meant to be a fresh start, an escape from the chaos of
her life in the big city. The last thing she expects is a book signing to turn into a
chance meeting with a detective as irresistible as Jack. In just one afternoon, their
lives intertwine, sparking a connection that’s impossible to ignore.
What follows is a whirlwind of shocking twists, gripping tension, and moments so
intense you won’t know whether to scream, cry, or clutch the book for dear life. Jack
and Tatum’s journey isn’t an easy one—it’s raw, gut-wrenching, and absolutely

unmatched. Every twist and turn left me breathless, proving once again why she’s

satisfying happily ever after, it’s important to check the triggers because their road is
anything but smooth.

lengths we’ll go to for the ones who matter most. This book will break you, heal you,
