She needed to win him at the bachelor auction to save her friend...but she didn't plan on falling in love.

Cora Rooney desperately needs to win the representative from The Refuge at the veteransā€™ charity auctionā€¦itā€™s literally a matter of life or death. Of course, as is so often the case for the ex-orphan, nothing goes according to plan, and Cora loses her bid. Yet, she still finds herself in a diner with Bryson Clark, telling him about her best friend, who she suspects has been kidnapped and held against her will. After exhausting all other options, Coraā€™s convinced Pipe and his former military friends are her last chance to rescue Lara.

Bryson ā€œPipeā€ Clark had no desire to participate in a bachelor auction. Hell, most women run in the other direction when they see him coming. Why in the world would anyone spend good money for a night in his company? Still, he lets himself be talked into supporting a good cause, and as it turns out, the auction is the start of a mystery heā€™s now determined to unravel. Mostly because of the woman heā€™s strangely attracted to from her very first bid.

Finding Lara Osler is the easy part. Determining if she fled DC with her boyfriend of her own free willā€”and breaking her out of his estate if she didnā€™tā€”isnā€™t quite so cut and dried. Along the way, Pipe finds thereā€™s much more to Cora than meets the eyeā€¦kind of like him.

Falling in love wasnā€™t part of the plan, but Pipeā€™s not going to let anyone or anything get in his way of making Cora his own and rescuing her friendā€¦not even a serial killer hiding in the wings, waiting to strike.

**Deserving Cora is the 4th book in The Refuge Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
