Lost and Lassoed (Rebel Blue Ranch, #3)

by Lyla Sage

Men who are that good-looking should not be allowed to be such assholes. It was false advertising.

One of the most annoying things about Teddy? She was familiar, even though I didn’t want her to be. Don’t think about it.

Teddy is pretty. Beautiful, even. But beautiful like a lion or an elk or any other large and dangerous animal. Beautiful to look at, but you didn’t want to get too close because it’d rip your throat out or trample you or spear you to death with its giant horns.

One more touch from her and I was going to tie her hands behind her back. No, wait, not like that. Goddammit.

“You are many things, August Ryder, and some of those things aren’t great, I’ll be honest,” I said. “But a bad father isn’t one of them.”

But as I was walking out, I heard Teddy say, “So when’s the last time you were arrested?” “Never?” Riley said. “Well, tomorrow you’re going to say yesterday,” Teddy said. “Lucky you’re mom’s a lawyer.” Jesus Christ, what had I done?

Just because he’s a good dad and sometimes looks at you like you’re the only person in the room does not mean that he isn’t a dick.

“You can cry, Teddy,” he said. And so I cried. And cried. And August Ryder held me the whole time.

“Luke is my fiancé, my partner, my everything. But you’re my soulmate, Teddy Andersen, and I’m the luckiest girl in the world because of it.”
