Mine Alone: One Night on His Ranch. A Lifetime in His Bed
MINE ALONE
A Story of Possession and Devotion
Wren Calloway has been running for seven years.
She left her small town at eighteen-not for adventure, not for freedom, but because she couldn't bear to stay. Every corner of that town held a memory of Cole Masterson. The way he moved. The way he took what he wanted without apology. The way women looked at him like he was something dangerous and precious all at once. She'd seen him in barns, behind the library, in shadowed alleys-always with someone else. She told herself to look away. She never could.
On her last day in town, their eyes met across a dusty equipment shed. She was eighteen. He was inside another woman. Their gazes locked for one heartbeat, two, three-and then she ran.
Seven years. Fifty jobs. Three continents. Nothing made her forget him.
Now she's back. Working at the local bakery. Delivering meals to the O'Donald ranch. Keeping her head down and her heart locked tight. But Cole Masterson hasn't changed. He's harder now. Rougher. More possessive than she ever imagined. And the moment he sees her standing behind that serving table, he makes a decision that will shake the entire town.
"She's mine. Nobody touches her. Nobody asks her out. Nobody even looks at her without my permission."
Cole has spent seven years sleeping with women who meant nothing-bored, rich, careless women who used him for his body and his reputation. He never loved any of them. He was waiting. Waiting for the one woman who made him feel alive. The one woman who saw him as more than a dumb ranch hand with talented hands. The one woman who got away.
Now Wren is back, and Cole isn't letting her go again.
But the women he used to warm his bed aren't ready to let him go either. Led by a spiteful newlywed who refuses to accept that Cole's heart-and his body-now belong to someone else, they'll do anything to tear Wren down. Lies. Rumors. Strangers sent to hurt her. Cole must decide how far he'll go to protect what's his. And Wren, a twenty-five-year-old virgin who's never been with anyone, must decide if a man with Cole's reputation is worth the risk.
Because Cole isn't just asking for a chance.
He's demanding forever.
A deeply sensual, emotionally charged standalone romance about a possessive rancher who's done waiting, a curvy woman who's done running, and the small-town scandal that tried to tear them apart.
