Wrangled: A Forbidden Ranch MM Romance (Forbidden Hearts Book 2)

He gentles wild horses for a living. He never expected to be the one who needed gentling. Levi Hutton learned young that the safest thing a person could be was small - quiet enough that nobody had a reason to send him away again. Eight months into the best job he's ever had on Ironwood Ranch, he's finally found something like steady ground. Then his new boss comes home from Denver to save the family ranch from bankruptcy, and steady ground stops feeling steady at all. Colton Ashworth runs Ironwood the way he runs everything: controlled, careful, and engaged to a woman his family arranged for him to marry - because her family's water rights are the only thing standing between Ironwood and the bank. He's spent twelve years building a life with no room in it for what he actually wants. Then a green colt, a Wyoming storm, and a ranch hand who won't back down from him teach him exactly how much that control has been costing him. What follows is stormy, secret, and impossible to walk away from. Colton claims Levi like a man who's finally stopped denying himself - and then pulls back just as hard, terrified of what wanting this badly might cost everyone counting on him. Levi's done being anybody's convenient, hidden thing. He's done waiting quietly to be chosen. This time, he's not going anywhere without a fight. Wrangled is an emotional, steamy small-town MM cowboy romance about power, fear, and learning that love doesn't have to stay behind closed barn doors. Cole and Nate from Built for Him make a welcome return as this new couple finds their own hard-won happy ending. Slow burn with a dominant, protective love interest Cowboy / ranch setting, forbidden boss romance, big-family drama Sensual, not explicit - the door stays open, not the camera Guaranteed HEA
