Andrea is running like hell. From an imposing loan shark who wants her for an interest payment? Brilliant idea. To a sprawling horse ranch in Wyoming owned by a self-professed woman-hater? Not so much. But desperation drives Andrea into the turbulent whirlwind that is Braden Sutherland, uncertain if she, or her body, will remain unscathed on the other side of it...Braden has a temperament that he is legendary for. He breeds champions, carrying on his shoulders generations of hard work. What he doesn't need at his ranch? A woman like Andrea Banks-too damn beautiful with a side of trouble. As she blazes into his life like a firestorm, Braden isn't sure if he wants that fire to warm his bed or his callous heart...Note from JazzThis story has been about fifteen years in the making for me. That being said, this book has a callous alpha male who worships his fierce lady love to the fullest extent. Mature themes apply for strong language in and out of bed, sexual violence, and death.
