Wild Wager (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781837003976)

A wounded cowboy billionaire meets his match in a fierce wolf biologist who turns his empty ranch--and guarded heart--upside down.

I built Coyote Falls to hide. From the cameras. The crowds. The accident that left me hollow.

Then my sister's best friend, Lanie Parker, shows up at my door--wild-cherry hair, cinnamon-sugar scent, Big Sky eyes that see everything I've tried to bury. She studies wolves in Alaska's remotest corners. She's made for wild places, for a life that's the opposite of everything I am.

But she looks at me like I'm whole. Like the scars on my skin and the wager I made, which could lose me everything I've worked so hard to build, don't define me. Like this damaged ex-rodeo star might actually be worth saving.

I shouldn't ask her to stay. Shouldn't pull her into my empty homestead, my found family of broken cowboys, the refuge I carved from granite and sweat. Shouldn't touch her when I know damn well I'm riding toward my own destruction in a few weeks.

But shouldn't and can't are two different things.

And the only thing I can't do? Let her go.

This unmissable steamy Western romance from USA Today bestselling author Sofia Aves is perfect for fans of Elsie Silver, Lyla Sage and Elliott Rose.
