Live for Me (Hallow Ranch)

by Brittany Ann

I, Abbie Spears, would never be able to lie to Beau Marks, even when a lie was the only thing that could save his life.

Now, I was nothing more than a lonely cowboy, the world passing him by without a single care.

Abbie Spears was branded into my soul.

Abbie deserved love, and I was going to give it to her. Day after day. Year after year. Until I was old and gray. Until my lungs stopped working. Until my heart stopped beating, I would love Abbie the way she was destined to be loved.

“Protecting you comes with the job, Wildflower.” A single tear fell onto her cheek. “And what job is that, Beau?” “Loving you.”

I was a cowboy in love, and my woman was in danger.

I may not be hers anymore, but she would always be mine, whether she wanted me or not.

He was the most beautiful man in the world and if, by some twisted sense of fate, the whole world got to see his beauty, I would die of jealousy.

Him being in my home after six years or me realizing that, after said six years, I was still hopelessly, desperately, painfully in love with him.

“You hurt Beau again, I’ll ruin you. He barely fucking survived the last time. I was halfway across the world and could feel his pain when I had my check-ins with Jigs. Now, I’m here, and I’ll be damned if I have to watch you destroy him again.”
