Protect Me, Daddy

He came back for his land. He’s staying for her.

Cord Harlow lost his family’s ranch to his brother’s mistakes. For months he’s been fixing fence posts and sleeping alone, telling himself he’s only passing through. Until Cami Turner shows up hiding in his father’s cabin—barefoot, terrified, and running from a man who thinks patience is the same as love.

Cord knows three things:
She’s scared.
She’s lying.
And she’s his.

When Marcus Hale buys the Harlow Ranch to get close to the woman who escaped him, Cord has thirty days to fight for land that’s already his in every way that matters. But Marcus doesn’t fight fair. He has money, lawyers, and a cruel patience that knows exactly how to break a woman who once belonged to him.

Cami has eleven photographs that could destroy Marcus forever.
Cord has a brother he hasn’t spoken to in fourteen months.
And neither of them is running anymore.

He’ll burn the world down before he lets anyone take what’s his—the ranch, the fight, or the woman who’s finally learning she doesn’t have to carry it alone.

A protective daddy cowboy romance with high heat, a possessive hero who means every word, and a guaranteed HEA. Explicit content. CW: psychological manipulation, financial fraud (off-page), past controlling relationship.

Description

He came back to land he lost. She came to disappear. Neither of them planned on the other.

Cord Harlow spent fifteen years on the rodeo circuit trying to forget the ranch his brother sold out from under him. Now he’s back, working the land he grew up on for a man who bought it,  and waiting for a chance to take it back. He didn’t expect to find a woman hiding in his father’s cabin.

Cami Turner isn’t asking for help. She isn’t staying long. She just needs long enough for the man looking for her to stop looking. A few weeks in the middle of nowhere Montana seemed like the perfect plan — until the owner’s new ranch hand showed up and refused to pretend she wasn’t there.

Cord knows she’s running. Cami knows he’s trouble. The storm that traps them together for three days doesn’t care what either of them knows.

Standalone cowboy romance. Grumpy rancher. Woman on the run. Explicit content. HEA guaranteed.

Someone took his ranch. Someone took his woman. Cord Harlow does not ask twice. Lawyers, money, and a man who believes patience is the same as love stand in his way. Cord will do whatever it takes to protect what is his and what is hers. Montana has never seen a fight like this and neither has the woman he loves.
