Burn the Wild (Runaway Ranch, #3)

by Ava Hunter

To anyone who has ever been lost in the darkness of this big ol’ world, here’s to finding the light. And maybe a broody cowboy who sees it. You deserve it all.

We all know why he’s staying in it, even if he won’t say it—to look out for Fallon. If she’s on the circuit, so is he.

The camera zooms in. My stomach bottoms out. Fuck. She’s crying. And no one even fucking notices.

It’s taken a toll on the entire family, including my little brother. Wyatt misses her.

Normally, I’d chase this girl. But I’m not a prince and I don’t have a white horse. I’m a cowboy with baggage. I’m born to run. There’s no sunset in this future.

And then I laugh. I laugh because Ford Montgomery is one of the best things I’ve ever felt. “What?” he says gruffly. “You smell amazing.” His lazy chuckle rumbles through my body. “Don’t get any ideas.” I smile into his chest. “Wouldn’t dream of it.”

“I’m going to fuck you like a cowboy, honey. Treat you like a princess.”

“You’re like the wild, baby. You’re always gonna burn, but you come back better than ever.”

“I won’t play games about what this is and what you are to me.” She tilts her chin. The fire in her eyes scorches. “What am I?” “Birdie Girl, you’re pretty much my goddamn everything.”
