Carter Langston has never been the kind of cowboy who blends in. Wealthy, commanding, and sharper than the small-town gossip that trails him, he built his empire with grit and ambition. Behind the Stetson and tailored suits, though, is a man whose desires go deeper than land or power.
He isn’t just looking for passion he wants someone strong enough to share his future, someone unafraid to walk beside him instead of behind him.
When Carter’s attention turns to the women who work the ranch, competition sparks. To them, he’s not only a boss but the embodiment of security, power, and temptation. Yet Carter refuses to play games. He’s waiting for the one woman who can stand in his world without flinching the one who’ll take his heart as surely as his hand.
In a place where loyalty is fragile and attraction burns fast, can the right woman claim his love and his legacy, or will fear keep Carter’s heart untamed?
