A remote cottage, a protective cop, and a love she never saw coming


Lily Johnson is the baby of her family, causing her two big brothers and Pops to be overprotective. All she wants to do is stretch her wings and live her own life in Alabama without answering to anyone. When she finds a cottage up for sale in the middle of nowhere she jumps at the chance to buy it. But with the peace and quiet comes the isolation, and she soon learns there is a reason the cottage is empty. When she starts to feel unsafe there is only one person she calls on - her brothers best friend and local police officer, Dan Watkins.



Dan looks to his best friend's sister as family, but when he sees her in danger and scared, a new feeling overcomes him as he is determined to protect the beautiful Lily. No one will put her in harms way and gets away with it.



As the two are forced to spend more time together, they realise there may be more to their relationship than they originally thought. But can the two keep their feelings hidden from those who will judge them? Can Dan protect his Lily when she needs him the most? Will her family accept their new relationship? Or will it be over before they have the chance to enjoy their new found love for one another?



Dancing with Dan is Book 2 of the Lakeside Ranch series, a protective brother’s‑best‑friend romance filled with danger, devotion, and the slow‑burn realisation that the man who’s always watched over her might be the one she’s meant to love.

REVIEWS Icon

D. E. Bartley lives in Wales, UK, with her husband, three feral boys, two cats and a budgie. To say her home is a madhouse would be an understatement, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. When Bartley isn’t working nights, running around after her tribe or driving her husband up the wall, she can be found reading and hoarding books like a magpie hoards shiny things.
