Taming the Heart

In this steamy, age-gap, forbidden love cowboy romance for fans of Lyla Sage, Bailey Hannah, and Elsie Silver, a free spirit finds herself working for a former pro bull rider . . . who has secrets behind those ocean-deep eyes. But there's more at stake in than just crossing a line between boss and employee. There's a wedding band on that cowboy's finger.

Being hired by a ranch for the summer sounds picture-perfect, right? Except your new boss looks a whole lot like every fantasy and daydream you've ever had come to life--oh, and he's already accidentally seen your favorite "toy."

I've always been the hyper-independent free spirit. Sage Maloney, the wild child. The eldest daughter, with my heart locked away safely out of sight. I had a summer of fun ahead of me. I didn't count on a former pro bull rider to stride into my life. Beau Heartford. The much older cowboy with a mustache to go weak at the knees for. He's a whole package of temptation. Someone who lures me in with glimpses of what it might be like to let my guard down . . . to be taken care of. My married boss.

Summer days rapidly turn scorching in this sleepy little Montana town among the mountains. As the temperature continues to climb, we're both stuck fighting a mutual attraction we can't ignore. Sparks fly, and we really should be putting more distance between us. In this scenario, more is at stake than just crossing a line between boss and employee. There's a wedding band on this cowboy's finger.
