As the boss's daughter, she's destined for great things - heir to the cattle empire her father will leave to her one day. But that doesn't stop her from pining after the foreman who's nearly twice her age. When trouble comes knocking, she finds herself running straight into the arms of the one cowboy she's not supposed to have.

Avery

It feels so good to move back home after graduating college. High Plains Ranch will be mine one day, and I'm eager to get my hands dirty in order to learn the business.

There are some big changes since I've been gone that I have to get used to. Like my father getting remarried. Or the fact that I have a stepmother now. It's good to have another woman around the house, softening up my father's sharp edges.

But other things remain the same. Like the attraction that simmers between me and my father's foreman, Bowen Lynch. Rugged, masculine, forty years old, and completely forbidden, I've never wanted anyone as much as I crave him.

Now that Avery is working the ranch again, my self-control is tested around every corner. No matter how much I want her, I can't give in. I'm too old for her and she deserves better than a washed-up cowhand like me.

When I find out a stalker has followed Avery from college all the way here to Ash Ridge, my protective instincts hit overdrive. No one will lay a finger on her as long as I'm around. The little weasel thinks he owns her. But I'm the one she comes to when she's scared in need of comfort.

With a warm and naked Avery in my bed, there's only one question that really scares the shit out of me: what will her father say?
