He saved my life. Now he won't let me go. ER nurse Sloane Winters is running for her life when she crashes in the mountains, bleeding from a bullet wound. She begs the massive stranger who finds her not to take her to a hospital—they'll kill her there. So ex-Special Forces medic Cade Wolfe does the only thing his training allows: he kidnaps her. She wakes up three days later, stitched up and handcuffed to his bed. Cade knows she's in danger. Hit teams are searching the mountain roads, and she's too weak to run. So he keeps her—changing her bandages, feeding her, protecting her—even ...

Wildlife biologist Gemma Pierce discovers billionaire tech CEO Thorne Ashford bleeding in the wilderness—except the world thinks he died eighteen months ago.

Not when assassins are still hunting him. Not when she's the first real thing in his world of lies. Not when her curves and awkward brilliance have become his obsession. ...

I came to his ranch to escape my life. He's decided I'm never leaving. Burned out and desperate for peace, I rent a cabin on a Montana cattle ranch.

He trains wild horses. I didn't realize I was next. My grandmother left me a horse I can't ride and a grief I can't shake.

He's five years younger, way too charming, and absolutely not part of my plan. My car broke down on a dirt road in Montana. The cowboy who towed me in has dimples, a wicked grin, and no intention of letting me leave. Jake Slade is the definition of trouble — young, gorgeous, and he flirts like breathing. I'm older, freshly out of a broken engagement, and smarter than this. One night, I tell myself. Until the car's fixed. But he keeps making me laugh. Keeps looking at me like I'm art.
