Book 3 in the Crimson Ridge Series.

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.

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.

Only, 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 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 the two of 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.
