Beyond the Defenses
Blake came to the ranch for one reason: to forget.
After an assault left him with scars no one can see, he's learned that trusting people only leads to pain. At Silas's ranch, all he wants is a job, some peace and quiet, and enough distance from the world to put his life back together.
Then Julian walks into his life.
Silas's son is arrogant, intense, and dangerously attractive and from the moment they meet, he's determined to get under Blake's skin. He pushes, provokes, and refuses to accept the walls Blake has built around himself.
What begins as a battle of wills soon turns into something far more dangerous.
Every glance carries a challenge. Every touch threatens to break through the armor Blake has spent years building. And beneath all that tension is a desire neither of them can keep ignoring.
But Julian is hiding something of his own.
There's a darkness in his eyes that Blake recognizes all too well. And the more Julian draws him in, the more Blake begins to wonder whether this man could be the key to understanding an obsession that neither of them can explain.
Falling for Julian means risking the one thing Blake has fought hardest to protect: himself.
Because sometimes the person who can save you is the very same person who could destroy you.
