Branded and Bred: A Dark Ranch Romance

Bol

When Lila Carrington returns to her family's struggling ranch, she expects debt collectors-not Cade Mercer, the powerful neighbor with a contract and a marriage proposal. Their union is supposed to be practical: combine the land, protect the ranch, and stop the bank from taking everything Lila's family built. But business turns complicated fast. Behind Cade's calm control are secrets about her land, a hidden aquifer worth millions, and a corporate giant determined to claim it. As lawsuits mount and the valley's future hangs in the balance, Lila must decide whether Cade is protecting her... or trying to own the very ground beneath her feet. Yet every confrontation pulls them closer. Because Cade doesn't want her ranch. He wants her choosing him. And when the fight for the land becomes a fight for the valley itself, Lila must decide if love-and trust-are strong enough to stand against everything coming for them.
