A handsome, flirtatious billionaire pursued by the most dangerous criminal of the century. A hilarious female warrior who will protect him, knock him on his backside, and maybe let her guard down and love him.

Autumn Cardon, the top female operative for Aiden Porter, appears carefree and sweet. In reality, she’s hardened and feisty. Though many men have tried to bust through her walls, she teases, flirts, and keeps them at a distance. When she’s assigned to protect the pretty-boy billionaire Jarom Love from the nefarious Benjamin Oliver, she plans to sass him and keep him safe. She does not plan on her celebrity crush being thoughtful, funny, caring, and brave. She tries to ignore Jarom’s magnetism but he slowly melts the iron around her heart.

Jarom Love, the famous, classy, and charming billionaire flirt of the century, is tired of hiding from Benjamin Oliver. When the mesmerizing Autumn Cardon rescues him from a bomb threat and whisks him away to Coleville, Montana for higher security and protection, he is blown away. Autumn is his perfect match, he can feel it. Gone are the days when he has a different woman on his arm every night. His heart belongs completely to her. How can he break down her thick walls and convince her that they are meant to be?

Autumn and Jarom fall in love under the enchantment of the beautiful Coleville Ranch, but what will happen when outside forces attack. Can Jarom convince Autumn that she is the one for him? Will Autumn find the courage to let Jarom into her heart?

Editorial Reviews

"What an amazing book! To see a warrior woman with a heart of iron fight & conquer evil while protecting a wealthy pretty boy was truly intriguing. Who couldn't fall in love with someone with that last name. Not every pretty boy is just that." Deborah D.

"I just adored this book. Jarom is amazing! Autumn is hilarious and so so loveable. They really had amazing chemistry and the sweetest story. This book is probably one of my very favorite of Cami's." Taleah K.

"Can a man truly love a warrior with a dark past? Amazing book with twists and turns to keep you guessing. You'll laugh, cry, cheer and pray. Lifting each other in prayer and faith, but mostly in love. " Wendy V.

"Finally we get to read Autumn's story. This is an amazing read that will keep you reading until the end. Of course we are back at the Coleville Ranch with all wonderful characters popping in. Jarom Love is much more than he appears. They make a great couple that you can't help but root for them. I love the witty banter between Autumn and Jarom. There is a very satisfying ending that I will not spoil. Can't wait to see where the series goes next." Lucia V.

"I love the Coleville Ranch Romances and have been anxiously awaiting Jarom's story. I promise you will not be disappointed. The Female Warrior & The Charming Gentleman is a fantastic, touching, and sweet romantic suspense that will stay with you long after you turn the last page." Jennifer Youngblood, USA Today Bestselling Author of The Honeysuckle Island Series.

"Checketts brings us sweet romantic suspense we won't soon forget in this fast-paced and swoony family romance series. I love the Coleville family and the breahtaking Montana scenery. The touching romance and high-level suspense had me turning pages until late in the night." — Taylor Hart, USA Today Bestselling author of A Second Chance Christmas Arrangement: Sweet Small Town (Jewel Cove Beach Billionaire Romances).

I am beginning to think that this author could ever write a bad story, wow!

Jarom and Autumn were quite a pair. If you really think about, there was nothing in their lives that were even similar. Nothing that even matched at all. But, can this pair even begin to work things out.The suspense was awesome and the family of characters was amazing. You will have to read this book to find out if Benjamin Oliver was finally captured and if Jarom is still alive to tell about it. Highly recommend reading this series.

Love to the rescue

I had a tough time reading walker story I am assuming it was my horrible sinus making me,feel down so I couldn't enjoy the story , but every Cookeville story has been so good I had a tough time going to sleep at night XO great

The Coleville Ranch Series just keeps getting better and better!

I love how Cami had Autumn as the warrior. Jarom wasn’t without his alpha moments. Watching the struggle of their love grow and the threat of danger hanging over them made for a fun and riveting story. Cami Checketts knows how to keep your interest. Now on to book 8!

A female bodyguard falls in love with a clothing designer she is protecting.

Enjoyed being on the Coville Ranch again. Jarome and Autumn story was exciting from start to finish. It was love at first sight for Jarome. But Autumn had been hurt in her past. The only ones that treated her right were the ones she worked with. She had two men falling for her Jarome and Easton. She kept Easton at arms length. But Jarome slowly pulled down her barriers. She felt comfortable and protected with him. Though Autumn and Easton and the rest of the ranch were their protection. Jarome was the one to protect Autumn and her heart. They fit well togethor. So glad Benjamin Oliver has been taken care of. Looking forward to the rest in this series.

God's Plan

Love this story with Jarom and Autumn. Autumn feels like she is unlovable because of the dark things she has done for her job. She fears that Jarom will be the one to melt her hardened heart. A beautiful story of love and trust and God's plan unfolding.
