Montgavin Township will never be the same when one night changes the lives of six people.
The course of their lives and the trajectory of the town sets them on a collision course for disaster.
Lilah
I was left for dead when I was eighteen.
Coming to Mustang Creek Ranch gave me something to live for.
My boss is grumpy and reclusive.
But I’m secretly in love with him, even though he’s made it known he’ll never settle down.
Even though he’s made it clear, he’ll never be mine-or anyone’s.
Emmett
I’ve kept my distance from Lilah for years. No matter how much I want her, she’s off-limits.
The only family I will ever have are the ones I fought beside in battle-the family I chose.
Until the phone rang and I found out I had an eight-year-old daughter.
Watching Lilah with my daughter makes me wonder what it would be like to do the thing I
swore I never would: have a family and fall in love.
When I move her into my house to keep her safe from the dangers of her past, all bets are off.
Lilah was a victim of a brutal attack that turned her life upside-down but she worked through her trauma at Mustang Creek Ranch and now works there. She is so grateful for the ranch, except for Emmett. Her cranky, moody boss is both the bane of her existence and the star of her every fantasy. She doesn’t want to want him but she does want him, bad. He’s older, a little rough around the edges and he’s definitely been around but there’s something about him that draws Lilah to this man.
Emmett has wanted Lilah since the first time he laid eyes on her but indulging himself with her would be too dangerous. But when Emmett’s life changes in an instant, Lilah becomes invaluable to his new normal. He doesn’t like the thought of living without her, but Emmett is too damaged. She deserves better and so much more than he’s capable of giving her.
But when he begins to suspect Lilah may be in danger, he moves her into his house to protect her, but it gets harder to resist her every day. Emmett and Lilah’s story is an emotional slow-burn with suspense and heat and I loved everything about it. I’d like to thank the author and The Author Agency for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
