Lara Reynolds has a lot of things she wants to escape. An asshole of an ex-boyfriend and a stalker are just two of them. Taking on the role of housekeeper for former Navy SEAL Nick Goldman—a man whose home is as filthy as his mind—is far from her dream job, but she’s out of other options. Nick isn’t looking for a girlfriend. He isn’t even looking for a housekeeper, but his meddling ex has her own agenda, and no one says “no” to Emmy Black. Lara’s there to stay, although admittedly, he does see the benefits of having clean socks. And underwear. Don’t forget the underwear. As Lara tries to leave her troubled history behind, fate has a way of tripping her up—especially given her weakness for high heels. Each stumble brings her closer to Nick, who has his own demons to conquer. When the sparks ignite, will she fall into the arms of danger, or will she find a love strong enough to withstand the shadows of her past? Gold Rush is a romantic suspense novel with a protective hero, plenty of humour, and a morally grey girl squad. The book can be read as a standalone—no cliffhanger.
