For years, she watched Cole Masterson from the shadows - the town's most notorious bad boy, a rancher with a reputation as wild as the land he worked. She saw him with other women. She saw the way they looked at him. But she never had the courage to let him see her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUntil the day she ran.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven years later, Wren returns home, hoping to build a quiet life above a bakery and leave her painful past behind. She's older now. Wiser.

He's nothing like the distant, untouchable man she remembers. He touches her like she's precious. He looks at her like she's the only woman in the world. He whispers promises that make her heart race and her body ache with a need she's never felt before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Cole has enemies.
