Bound by the Cowboy

Delia Calloway doesn't trust men; she trusts spreadsheets. After fifteen years of protecting her sisters from their toxic father, she is armed with a 173-page blackmail file and an ironclad rule: no one takes control of her life. So when she drives to Dusty Creek Ranch, she brings a strict, eleven-clause consent contract to deal with Rhett Harlow, the ex-Airborne cowboy who told her on a single phone call that he'd be waiting for her. Rhett doesn't laugh at her contract. He signs it. And then, clause by clause, he uses it to completely unravel her. Bound by his word to ask permission for every touch, Rhett proves to be a master of patience, showing Delia what it means to be worshipped rather than controlled. But when her past arrives at the ranch gates, Delia must decide if she's strong enough to keep fighting alone-or brave enough to finally surrender to a man who demands all of her.
