Branded by the Rancher

In the unforgiving Wyoming backcountry, two men scarred by betrayal must decide if they can trust each other enough to survive the rustlers circling the ranch—and the scorching heat building between them.

When Diego Serrano arrives at McCrae Ranch looking for work, Wyatt McCrae wants him gone. Wyatt is still holding his Wyoming ranch together after his father’s death, and the stranger at his gate notices too much. But with rustlers pressing too close to the herd, Wyatt needs help more than he wants to admit.

Working side by side in the backcountry, Diego and Wyatt fall into step, and the attraction between them gets harder to ignore. Soon it’s clear the heat between them isn’t just August. But Diego is hiding who he really is, and Wyatt already knows what it costs to trust the wrong man.
