I don’t let strangers past my gate.
Especially not the soaked, stubborn photographer who broke down on my land and looked at me like she could see every scar I keep buried.
Lila Anderson walked into my kitchen like she already belonged—rearranging my whole world with that camera and a mouth that won’t quit.
Now she’s documenting my ranch by day and saying my name like a prayer by night.
She thinks she can heal what my past broke.
She doesn’t know I already decided she’s never leaving.
I’ll lock her to this land, keep her in my bed, and burn every secret standing between us if that’s what it takes to make her mine.
She ran from roots her whole life.
Too bad she just found the one man who’ll give her forever whether she’s ready or not.
Read on for a big grumpy hairy ranch Daddy who falls first, a wandering photographer who finally finds home, storm-soaked forced proximity, buried family secrets, and an alpha who claims her on the same ground that almost destroyed him.
Golden-hour heat with a cozy, possessive HEA!
