The bank is ready to take the ranch my family built, and Alexander Quinlan's help comes with a price I am terrified to pay. He handles my problems like they are already his, and he has not yet said aloud what he wants in return.
I have fought so hard to hold on to this land without letting anyone close enough to hurt me, but his terse commands and the way he watches me make my stubbornness feel thin. Every decision about the fences and the herd pulls us closer to the moment when he will tell me to kneel, and the thought of obeying him completely leaves me flushed and unsteady. If I give him my body on the hay-strewn floor of the barn, I may lose more than just the foreclosure hanging over my head.
How far will I go when he finally gives the order?
