The Front Runner (Gold Rush Ranch, #3)

by Elsie Silver

“So, basically you’ve taken your running request and added two punishment dates?” My voice is incredulous. “They won’t be a punishment for me.”

He really is like an injured rat.

“Good. Because I want to make myself abundantly clear.” We’re so close. I can feel the entire length of his body covering mine. He teases me with the lightest brush of his lips against my ear as he drops his voice and holds me captive. “You are not the pawn, Mira. You are the prize.”

“I sleep. I work. I workout. I run the farm. I obsessively check on Loki. I try to keep my sister on the straight and narrow. And then I either spend my free time with you or thinking about you. You’ve put a spell on me. You’re all I think about.”
