The New Boss Takes the Whole Spread: A Steamy Cowboy Dominance Romance

I tell Verity to hold still in the registry office, and her body obeys before her mind can decide.

Out on the wind-scoured fence line I give the orders and she takes them. The healed knife scar above my collarbone is a reminder of what happens when I lose control.

She answers with that quiet yielding edged in hunger, the same hunger that makes me want to restrain her wrists and lay my hand across her skin until she learns absolute obedience. We must remain partners to save the ranch, but each command I give pulls us closer to the moment where her surrender might cost me everything I fear most.
