Unwanted

Harper Ward works as a wilderness guide. The sheriff's office in Helena Springs, Montana, calls her in to assist with a double murder investigation. The only suspect is a man known only as Lucas, and the locals call him a savage.

Harper watches him on the station's surveillance footage. He wears animal skins and looks unkempt and primitive, yet she notices intelligence and sensitivity in his face. She wants to know who he is, and how a man could have lived alone in the forest since early childhood.

As secrets surface, Harper is drawn into a scheme larger and more sinister than she expected, with Lucas at its center. Nobody can say whether he is a wild man, a cold blooded killer, an innocent victim, or some mix of the three. Harper has to work it out, and the more time she spends with him, the more her own feelings are at risk.

The book is a romantic suspense novel set in the Montana wilderness and a small town. It combines a murder investigation with a slow-growing attraction between a guide and a suspect. The book was previously published under the title Savaged.
