He’s Faced Countless Perils on the Battlefield, but Nothing so Dangerous as Falling in Love.
Luke Davenport has been fighting all his life–for respect, for country, and for those unable to fight for themselves. But now that his Horsemen brothers are domesticated, he’s left alone to battle the wildness within. When an opportunity arises to take a job on his own, tracking down a group of rustlers, he jumps at the chance.
Damaris Baxter has mastered the art of invisibility. Plain and quiet, she hides in books and needlework, content to be overlooked. Until her brother dies suddenly, leaving her custody of her nephew. She moves to Texas to care for Nathaniel, determined to create the family for herself that she never thought she’d have and to give him the family he desperately needs.
When Nate finds himself knee-deep in trouble, Luke’s attempt to protect him leaves Damaris feeling indebted to the Horseman. But suspicions grow regarding the mysterious death of Damaris’s brother. And the more questions they ask, the more danger appears, threatening the family Luke may be unable to live without.

Summary
In Honor’s Defense by Karen Whitemeyer was the perfect ending to this series. I have enjoyed all of the books. This is Luke/Preach’s story.
Damaris was a character that you cannot help but love. She was more than happy to take responsibility for her nephew, Nate even if he was rebellious in his grief.
The author created some great scenes with Damaris and her nephew and with Damaris and Luke. For fans of the series you will be thrilled to see the return of Dr Jo and some of the Hanger’s Horsemen.
Luke accepts an assignment that brings him to the home of Damaris. He gets into trouble which leads to Damaris taking care of him until her can get around on his own. Luke is trying to decide how much Nate is involved. And on top of that Damaris is being hounded to sell her property.
This was a beautiful story of a woman finally feeling seen, a small mystery and Luke dealing with grief.
