Caitlin: Home Is Where the Heart Is

Caitlin: Home Is Where the Heart Is

by

Elle Martin

Caitlin Ellery walked away from Wyoming at twenty-three with a lie on her lips and a secret she could never share. Fifteen years later, she's a federal prosecutor with a corner office, a reputation built on never letting anyone see her break, and a target on her back. The organized crime fugitive she once put behind bars is out. He's patient. He's planning. And he wants every prosecutor in the country watching when she dies. She has one option: go home. Cameron Alexander has been the foreman of the Double E Ranch since he left the military. He's been waiting for Caitlin since before he had the words for it. He has no idea what she's been carrying for fifteen years — but he's about to find out, while a Navy SEAL element, federal agents, and a Wyoming sheriff converge on the ranch she swore she'd never return to. For fans of Catherine Cowles, Devney Perry, and Susan Stoker.

About the Author

Elle Martin

Elle Martin writes the kind of romance that leaves a mark.

After twenty-five years in creative design, she traded client deadlines for fictional ones—and discovered that building characters is a hell of a lot more satisfying than building brand decks. Now she writes contemporary romance and paranormal shifter romance with sharp dialogue, real emotion, and heroes who earn every inch of their happily ever after.

Elle’s Coming Home Series follows the five Ellery siblings back to their Wyoming ranch, where old wounds run deep, family loyalty is tested, and love shows up when nobody’s looking for it. Her Canyon Pack Series takes readers into the West Texas canyons and the rugged desert around Big Bend National Park for fated mates with attitude, pack wars, and shifters who are dangerous in all the best ways—same emotional depth, more teeth.

Her Time Unfinished Series blends mystery, suspense, and slow-burn romance in Washington, D.C., where power and politics collide and a conspiracy buried in secrets sets off shockwaves that reverberate across the globe.

Elle lives in East Texas with her husband and three rescue cats, who firmly believe her keyboard exists for their personal comfort. When she’s not writing, she’s planning the next camping trip in her quest to hit all fifty states and every national park, or supporting veterans through organizations close to her heart, including Patriot Guard Riders, Soldiers’ Angels, and the USO.

Love • Danger • Desire • Romance with an edge
