Keeping my promise to Maverick means living with her contempt, but I can handle that. What I didn\u2019t expect was discovering the ranch is being systematically destroyed\u2014or falling for the fiery woman determined to save her family\u2019s legacy. Now, someone\u2019s threatening not just the ranch but Cici herself, and I\u2019m trapped between the promise I made and protecting the woman I\u2019m falling in love with. If I tell her the truth about that night, I could lose her forever. If I don\u2019t, I might lose her anyway.<\/p>\n<p><b>CICI<\/b><br \/>\nI\u2019ve spent two years rebuilding my life after losing my parents and nearly losing my brother in an accident. The last person I want help from is Porter Wheaton\u2014the man responsible for almost destroying what\u2019s left of my family. But with mysterious accidents plaguing the ranch and our finances in shambles, I\u2019m running out of options. Working beside him daily is torture, especially when I start seeing glimpses of a man nothing like the monster I imagined. As we uncover a web of threats surrounding the ranch, I find myself drawn to his quiet strength and unwavering support. But just when I start to trust him, I discover what I believed ended up being wrong\u2014and the truth could change everything I thought I knew about family, loyalty, and love.<\/p>\n<p><i>While each
