Falling for a Cowboy

Falling for a Cowboy

Jeni Rae D

Five years ago, my wife left my two-year-old son and me in the middle of the night, breaking my heart. After that, I vowed to friends and family that I’d never fall in love again. I would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my horse ranch. That was until Josie moved to my town, changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process. But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at, and I became jealous whenever Jack, the town’s wannabe cowboy, tried to strike up a relationship with her. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I’d never give—my ticker.

Marius built his power through grit and ruthless choices. Loyalty is his law, and he always protects his own—or so he tells himself.

She’s wolfless, furious, and standing in front of the Alpha who once left her behind. The pack smells blood, the council smells weakness, and Marius can’t decide if he wants to make amends—or claim the fire that’s always burned between them. Power. Passion. Payback. It’s all about to erupt.
