Description

Emmett Benson lives by his own rules. He's a bachelor by choice, a man who appreciates a woman's surrender but guards his freedom above all else. He prefers the quiet company of his horse and the honest work of a wrangler to the complications of people, and he has no intention of changing a thing.

But a bone-jarring fall from a feisty thoroughbred upends his world and lands him in the care of the new town doctor. She's polished and professional, and Emmett tells himself he can't possibly desire her. He must be delirious from his injuries, yet with every look, he feels an undeniable urge to claim her as his own.

When she makes an unexpected house call, her sweet, feminine scent fills his senses, and he makes her a deal: he'll be a good patient in exchange for one kiss. He never expects her to say yes.

He thought he was in trouble before, but one kiss unleashes a storm he never saw coming. Every dominant part of his being thunders: MINE.
