Sheâs the maddening, ridiculously cute trespasser who sneaks onto my property to play with my rocks. Heâs the grumpy, unbelievably handsome rancher who has the best rocks to study in the area. After months of resisting the urge, I finally haul her over my shoulder to escort her off my land. After months of being clueless, I finally notice that his land isnât the only thing hard around me. Sheâs so damn responsive. Heâs so brawny and burly. The next time she sneaks in, Iâm ready for her. The next time I sneak in, he shocks the heck out of me. To be fair, the woman is utterly injury-prone. To be clear, the man has apparently lost his ever-loving mind. I just want her to stay safe and out of trouble. SoâŚI cuff her to the bedâŚfor a few hours, tops, while I take care of some things that canât wait. And now, Iâm kind of curious how sheâs going to react. His constant alpha protectiveness is sweetâbut seriously? I should be more outraged by this. Really, I should be. ButâŚIâm kind of curious whatâs going to happen next.
