A new dark romance from the author of Amazon bestseller "Struck Down" "Don't go in there. Ever." Maple is a smart, quiet, meek girl who, after a failed stint at college, takes a job at Deyton Ranch. The job is perfect. Free room and board, good pay, and most importantly, no one there knows her face or past. It's a place where she can hide—even from herself. Except some people are impossible to hide from. Her boss, J.B. Deyton, is a cowboy with money, serious sex appeal, and a secret. With tousled black hair and a commanding attitude, he's both terrifying and irresistible. When he becomes not only her boss but also her savior, he brings forth the dark, quivering desires she keeps hidden beneath her milquetoast exterior. The job he's given her was supposed to offer her shelter, but soon Maple is in danger of running wild. Now Maple needs to finds a way to rein herself in, or risk making the same mistakes twice. But when she opens the door to his secret, the blinders are lifted and something in her threatens to break. She needs this job. She needs to not go in the stable. She needs to keep herself locked down. But she isn't sure she can control her desires...or her heart.

"Look, but don't touch." Ornate stables. The smell of hay and sweat. The lush green of the show grounds. Maple Parsons finds the allure of the Pony Bazaar overwhelming and supremely enticing. "Bio-Equine Showcasing," as the sponsors put it. And sales. Because she's here with J.B. to sell the pony girls J.B. trained. The prospect terrifies her as much as it thrills her. Not to mention she's here, alone with J.B. Their attraction keeps them tethered together even as events try and keep them apart. Given enough force, though, even the strongest ties can be snapped. When Maple's dark past comes back to haunt her, J.B. might be able to save her, but she's not sure she can save what they have together. Others might be looking for a way to break free, but Maple's desperate to find a way to bind herself to J.B. She wants to be tied down. She's willing to sacrifice it all for a chance to be his.

The finale in the Stables Trilogy by Penny Lam! "You will learn to obey." Her mouth aches from the bit. The leather harness cuts into her skin. A lick—or ten—from the crop. Maple Parsons loves every second of it. Because despite the odds, J.B. has decided to keep and train her. The caveat? He doesn't romance his stock. He's adamant about this. Business and pleasure don't mix, and his stables are all business. But Maple thinks he's wrong. Both she and J.B. have wounds they're trying to heal and she knows that this is the best, most f!cked up therapy there is. He makes her heart gallop and she's willing to fight for him. The thing is... she's not the only one. A new face in his stable seems just as set on seducing J.B. The new pony girl is ruthless, and suddenly Maple is wondering if she's made a terrible mistake. Each misstep is earning more than J.B.'s disapproval—it's unraveling the trust they've built. It will take learning which rules to follow and which to break for Maple to survive the stable. If she doesn't succeed, a broken heart is the least of her worries. Author's note: Not intended for those uncomfortable with violence and uncomfortable subject matter or are under eighteen. This is the final novel in the Stables Trilogy.
