He promised to protect her… feel something more for the innocent and stunning Quinn, he can’t stay away.
Shipped off to a boarding school at a young age, the independent and feisty Quinn doesn’t need a man to watch over her. But when she finds herself in danger, the only place she feels safe is the arms of the irresistible and rugged Marine.
Hell bent on protecting her, Mercer takes on the vengeful Russians who are responsible for his partner’s disappearance. With peril imminent and time running out, can Mercer save Quinn before the truth destroys their chance at a future together?
While each book in the Butler Ranch Series is a standalone with its own HEA, they may be more enjoyable read in order.

A really intriguing romance.
This is a great book! It is a romance mixed with a suspense novel with a punch of heat. Quinn has spent most of her life alone without knowing why. It’s not as if she is an orphan, she has a mother. But she’s always been sent off to boarding schools and then to college on the opposite coast. Then she meets Mercer and things begin to make sense.
Mercer is a splendid romantic suspense by Heather Slade. Ms. Slade has given readers a treat with this well-written story furnished with a cast of characters that is superb. Quinn is alone, her mother doesn’t bother with her and she has no other family. Mercer is part owner of K19 Security Solutions. He’s watched over Quinn for years and kept her safe. Their story is packed with action, drama, humor, sizzle and suspense. I enjoyed this book and look forward to my next book by Heather Quinn. Mercer is book 5 of The Butler Ranch Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
This series has many twists and turns. Every book drops a bomb shell or three. In Naughton we met Quinn, she is Lena’s daughter and according to her birth certificate Kade’s.
Mercer is part owner of K19 a security company, one that Kade had been part of. Before Kade left on his last mission he assigned people to protect his family, all of them. Mercer’s assignment is Quinn. Even though he has watched over her since she was a teen, he sees her as the woman she has become and he is falling hard for her. It’s worse now that he is her neighbor living just down the hallway.
Quinn’s friends Aine and Ava drag her to a party and she is anxious to leave when she spots Mercer. She’s about to call a car service when he offers her a ride home.
As we follow Quinn and Mercer we travel through the timeline of the previous books and see how Quinn’s life was affected by those events. It also explains the ‘Kade’ sightings and how K19 is involved.
So many surprises as more things become clear and others far more complicated.
I laughed, cried, screamed and couldn’t put this book down until I turned the final page.
“The Truth” (Butler Ranch Book Five) by Heather Slade is a great read. I loved Quinn and Mercer’s story! Wow, this book is absolutely packed with action, passion, suspense, twists and turns, close family and friends, entertaining characters, and more. I can not wait to see what happens next in this series in “The Return”. This is a wonderful addition to the series. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, wineries, families, action, suspense, and more.

The Truth is book 5 in the Butler Ranch series by Heather Slade and what I thought was bringing this full circle…only has more secrets to unfold…
This story is about Quinn Sullivan, Kade’s daughter and the man Kade hand picked to protect her should anything happen to him. Now that trouble has come calling and some secrets are revealed can Mercer keep her safe??
Suspenseful, mystery, page turner, romance, secrets still to be unveiled, can’t wait for the next book in this series! What an awesome series!!!
Buckle your seat belt for this book you are in for a wild ride. This story is amazing and although I haven’t read any of the previous books in the series I was able to catch right up. The main part of the story, which is I’m sure what goes through the previous books in the series, is awesome sauce. The suspense and his in and out and dodging them is well done. The characters are numerous and keeping all of their names and code names straight takes work but I love them all. They all have their quirks and nuances that keep the story going. As for these two? I love how their story develops and how they grow. It’s so emotional and exciting and they are sexy and human and have their own little weaknesses that they help each other work through.
I haven’t read this author before but man I have got to go back and read the books before this one and the ones that follow as well. Great writing and characters, awesome world building and excitement and intrigue.
I can’t even begin to describe how much I loved The Truth. It deserves more than 5 stars. Mercer was perfection! I absolutely loved him! Heather Slade outdid herself with this book. The entire series is great, but Mercer & Quinn’s story is by far my favorite book of the series. The story was well-thought-out, even down to the code names of the K19 Solutions team. I loved every second of The Truth! What a perfect ending. I’m eagerly awaiting The Return!
