Don't Back Down by Sharon Sala

Don't Back Down by Sharon Sala

Justice brought him home. Love might be what keeps him there.

When Army veteran Cameron Pope returns to Jubilee, Kentucky for the first time in years, he expects to confront ghosts--but not the kind that steal children in the night. He's barely unpacked when his young niece has a chilling brush with a human trafficking ring, plunging him into a life-or-death investigation that threatens the fragile peace of his hometown.

Rusty Caldwell--the woman Cameron loved and lost--has her own reasons to join the search for justice. She's still strong, still stunning... and still untouchable. As a member of Jubilee's elite, Rusty is bound by small-town divisions that see Cameron as nothing more than mountain-born trouble. But this time, she's not willing to walk away.

As Cameron and Rusty race to protect the innocent and expose a predator embedded in the town's social fabric, their rekindled connection burns hotter than ever. Forged by history and tested by secrets, if they're brave enough to face the truth, they might just be each other's salvation.

With over fifty books in print, award-winning author Sharon Sala, who also writes as Dinah McCall, still has to remind herself from time to time that this isn't a dream.

She learned to read at the age of four and has had her nose in a book ever since. Her introduction into romance came at an early age through the stories of Zane Gray, Grace Livingston Hill and Emily Loring. Her pride in contributing to the genre is echoed by the letters of her fans.

She's a four-time RITA finalist, Winner of the Janet Dailey Award, three-time Career Achievement winner from Romantic Times magazine, four-time winner of the National Reader's Choice Award and five-time winner of the Colorado Romance Writer's Award of Excellence, as well as numerous other industry awards.

Her books are regularly on bestseller lists, such as the New York Times extended list, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Waldenbooks mass market, and many others.

She claims that, for her, learning to read was a matter of evolution, but learning to write and then being published was a revolution. It changed her life, her world and her fate.
