I’m a city girl on assignment. He’s the older, off-limits cowboy I get stranded with when the snowstorm hits. One night in his arms and suddenly, the story isn’t the only thing I’m chasing. I should’ve known better than to let a reporter onto my ranch. Kali Collin's showed up all sunshine and big-city smiles, pretending she just wanted a “day in the life” story. But one look at her, and I knew I was in trouble. The way she blushes when I tease her. The way her breath catches when I touch her. The way she says my name when I make her come undone. She was supposed to be a distraction. Instead, she became an addiction. I told myself not to trust her. Then I did—and it damn near broke me. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s A Thorne man doesn’t walk away from what’s his. And this woman? She’s mine. At Rock Creek Ranch , when a Thorne cowboy falls, he falls fast, hard, and forever. Every book in the series stands alone, delivers a possessive alpha hero, a strong heroine, and a whole lot of heat leading straight to forever. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating.
