I was hired to destroy her. I did. Then I fell in love with her.
I’m Mason Brooks, and this is my story.
When powerful men have problems, they call me. I’m a morally flexible fixer—the best in the business.
Taya Morningstar is a problem I’ve been hired to handle.
She’s a lawyer with a savior complex—principled, honorable, too big-hearted for her own good. She works for people who can’t afford to lose. This time, she’s fighting for someone in my employer’s crosshairs.
My job is get close to Taya, dismantle her case, and walk away.
So I seduce her, let her believe what we have is real—then I hand her case to opposing counsel and make sure she loses.
But for the first time in my life, I can’t walk away from the devastation I caused, because I’ve fallen in love with my mark.
If I want to be the man Taya deserves, I have to do something I’ve never done before—earn back the heart I broke.

Author’s Note: The Lonely Road contains significant Southern Ute cultural elements, including depictions of the Bear Dance, traditional regalia, language, ceremony, and community life. I have worked with sensitivity readers and consulted those who know the Southern Ute community throughout the writing of this book, and I am deeply grateful for their generosity and guidance. Any errors that remain—and there may be some—are entirely my own, and I offer my sincere apology for them. It was never my intention to misrepresent a culture I have enormous respect for, only to honor it as truthfully as fiction allows.
