Off-Limits Rancher

One night of dancing in a cowboy bar, and I wound up in bed with a man nearly twice my age.

Beau Lawson wasn't just a rugged silver fox in worn denim and boots. On the dance floor, he moved like he already possessed every inch of me.

Before I knew it, I was his for a night, and he was burned into me forever.

I left at dawn, convinced I'd never see him again.

But years later, work drags me back to Wyoming and right back into his arms.

Only now he's not just a memory I can't shake.

He's the powerful rancher at the center of a feud that's haunted my family for generations.

I know I should walk away.

But every glance, every touch, every kiss pulls me closer… until I'm lost in him completely.

Then I uncover proof that it was my own grandfather who poisoned Beau's land. If I tell the truth, I betray the legacy I was raised to protect.

If I don't, I risk losing Beau forever.
