Monroe Ranch

She should feel on top of the world. A whole week at Monroe Ranch in Colorado to celebrate graduation. Just Callie Patrick and her best friends, finally released from the grip of their over-protective parents. But heartache trails her from New York, tainting her view of the unending grasslands as clouds roll in to smother the sky. Thankfully, a ruggedly sexy distraction arrives at the perfect time, chaps on and ready to ride. However Callie's need to be seen as an independent woman rather than a girl leads to a careless decision that in this unforgiving wilderness could have deadly consequences. He wants to get the hell outta Dodge. Sick of the never-ending, back-breaking exertion it takes to run his family's 125-year-old ranch, Levi Monroe's got secret plans to hightail it out of town and experience life in the city. What he didn't plan on was a chestnut-haired city slicker who turned out to be more than just another buckle-bunny. More than just another roll in the hay. But out on the range, the laws of nature are powerful and indiscriminate. One wrong move and he may lose everything he never knew he wanted-including the woman who's captured his heart-just as it's finally within his grasp…

She's at the top of her game. First in her class and fresh out of law school, Callie Patrick is ready to make her mark and take on the world. What she isn't ready for is the man who took her virginity to suddenly appear in her New York office, throwing her carefully constructed world out of balance. It's been five years since they last spoke. Five long years since they'd promised each other their hearts…and their bodies. He's about to lose it all. Levi Monroe isn't there to catch up. The rugged Colorado ranch owner has already lost so much. If he doesn't act fast, if Callie can't help him, everything his family built over five generations will come crumbling down on his watch. But demons from Callie's past still haunt her. If she can't escape the shackles of her present, she'll be destined for a dark future... and Levi will lose his entirely.
