About this ebook

“There’s no contingency to my love or desire for you, Ady. I’ve waited years for you. Trust me when I say, now that I’ve got you, I’ll wait as long as you need.”


I’ve longed to hear the words of love from a good man.

A dependable man.

For so long, I didn’t believe I’d ever deserve more than what I’d been offered.

He made me see I was wrong.

I deserved love. Happiness. Him.

Brantley Marbury.

The hero I didn’t know I needed.

The man who stole my heart with a simple touch, sweet words, and a flaming desire to claim me.

The thing with happiness, though, is that it can be ripped away at a moment’s notice.


For so long, the Running M Ranch was my life.

After my father died, I spent years funneling all my energy into ensuring its success.

But as Pops once told me, all the success in the world doesn’t mean a damn thing without the love of a good woman at my side.

I had no idea how true his words were until I met her.

Adilynn James.

A girl more than a decade younger than me and carrying more baggage than someone so young should.

Sure, she comes with a little brother, a piece of shit mother, and a lack of confidence like I’ve never seen, but she’s worth it.

Her heart speaks to my soul, and I know I’ll do anything to claim her as mine.


From USA Today Bestselling Author KL Donn comes a sexy-as-sin, cowboys-do-it-better romance filled with family drama, a possessive rancher, and a heroine just hoping to survive.

What a great read! I loved how Brantley was so protective and encouraging of Adilynn. She had a really hard life up to the moment she met Brantley, but was strong and determined that her younger brother Luke got everything she could give him to have a better life. Brantley felt protective and possessive of her as soon as he first saw her, and decided to take her and Luke both in to get them out of the mess they were both living in with their abusive mother. This book was steamy, emotional, and had me reading until the wee hours of the morning to find out what would happen. I loved all the characters and even some of the horses we meet as well. Can't wait to read K.L's next book! I received a review copy of this book and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

Yee haw!! Save a horse and all that!! Lol! But seriously this read was so emotional and hit me in all the feels. But this is a KL Donn book, sooooo?! That is the norm for me. Addilyn has worked hard all her life. She is determined to not be like her mum and to give her younger brother everything she possibly can. Trying to shield him from the chaos and trauma she experiences from their mother. But life has a way of trying to beat her down and that broke my heart. Damn! And then Brantley spots her. Brantley SEES her, her light may have been dimmed but he sees that shine. Gah! My heart!! It is overflowing! There is so much to this story and parts took my breath away, whilst parts made me shout and scream at my kindle! Holy moly! Go!!! Add this to your tbr now!!
