The Badge and the Bad Boy (Redemption Ranch, #1)

by Lena Hendrix

“I know exactly what I want. Do you?” Our breath mingled in the air, and I wanted his warmth seeping back into me. “A man like me always wants what he can’t have. But you, baby girl, are the most dangerous thing on this ranch.”

Val spoke softly. “Is it supposed to feel this . . .” “Destined?” I dug my fingers into her hair as I pulled her close for a searing kiss and pumped in and out of her.

“I can’t pretend anymore.” “Pretend?” Her voice was light but urgent. “I can’t pretend that when you walk in the room, the temperature doesn’t shoot up twenty degrees. Or pretend that the ache in my chest isn’t from watching you walk away.” “Evan, you can’t say things like that.” “I can and I will. You deserve to know.”
