Branded

The Drake family built an empire on power, loyalty, and fear. Sebastian Drake is their most dangerous son. Lennox Briggs never intended to become part of his world. But one desperate decision leaves her bound to a man who looks at her like a promise he intends to keep. No matter the cost. As old ranching rivalries turn violent and the Texas landscape threatens to erupt into war, and Lennox becomes the bargaining chip used by the man who wants to take the Drake’s down. The problem? Sebastian Drake isn't afraid of becoming a monster. Not if it means keeping her. From bestselling author Bonnie Poirier comes a small-town, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers romance, the first book in the brand-new dark western romance Devil's Ridge Ranch series. As the daughter of one of Montana's oldest ranching families, I grew up knowing exactly what it meant to be traded for legacy, land and obligation. I ran from that life. Straight into the arms of Sebastian Drake. A Texas rancher. A California mogul. Sebastian is the kind of man who always gets what he wants. And now he wants me. I tell myself I'll survive him. That I'll endure the rules, the lies and the way he looks at me like I already belong to him. But the more I fight him the harder it becomes to remember why I should. Because beneath the monster everyone fears is a man willing to do terrible things for the people he loves. And when a decades-old ranching war turns deadly, I discover something far more dangerous than being married to Sebastian Drake. Loving him. The worst part? I think he might love me, too. Fans of Victoria Wilder, Paisley Hope, Jennifer Millikin, Lyla Sage and Catherine Cowles will devour this perfect, emotional small-town dark western romance.
