King's Ranch Series Book 1: Hell of a Ride

CC Adele

Ashton lives fast and rides hard. Love is a distant memory, at least until the thrill of the ride isn’t enough to fill the Sydnee-sized void in his chest. She is off-limits in every way that matters, yet impossible to ignore—all sharp edges and a strength that demands notice. But when trauma strikes, it drives the forgiveness they both desperately seek. As shadows continue to creep in, they are pulled into a dangerous game neither of them signed up for. Secrets deepen, trust gets tested, and every choice feels heavier than the last. Ashton and Sydnee must face more than just their pasts. Because sometimes the biggest risk is not the danger around you… it’s the person standing right in front of you.
