Apple of My Eye (Alphas Fall Hard Collection #3)

She doesn’t have time for love. He’s been waiting for her all along.

Daisy Wylde has spent years holding her family together—saving her family’s struggling apple orchard, raising her younger sisters, and protecting the only home they have left after tragedy took everything else.

Love was never part of the plan, especially not with Knox, the steady, sinfully handsome cowboy who looks at her like she already belongs to him.

After one vulnerable night, they strike a secret arrangement with strict rules: no complications, no feelings, and absolutely no falling in love.

Knox has survived war, loss, and the military demons that still haunt him, but keeping his distance from Daisy is his hardest battle.

He settles for stolen glances and hidden touches, pretending she’s his. But when a dangerous threat from Daisy’s past resurfaces, a ruthless stalker puts her home and her sisters in jeopardy.

Forced to turn to the one man she swore she’d never need, Daisy must let Knox stand guard between her family and the danger closing in.

Knox is ready to fight for her future—and prove that some rules are meant to be broken.
