He's the King of Cowboys. She's the one woman he can never have.
Thaddeus is a ruthless Wyoming cattle baron, a man feared and respected across the land. With a name built on legacy and power, he's known as the King of Cowboys—untouchable, unshakable, and utterly irresistible. But behind the cold steel in his eyes lies a past no one dares to uncover.
When Arabella—bold, sharp-tongued, and off-limits—arrives at the Gray family ranch, Thaddeus wants nothing to do with her. She's trouble wrapped in curves and sass, the step-niece who disrupts the order he's built and tempts the beast within. She's too young. Too innocent. And worst of all... she makes him feel.
Arabella didn't expect her quiet new life in the country to come with brooding cowboys and forbidden attraction. Thaddeus is older, gruff, and as emotionally distant as the Wyoming mountains—but when their chemistry ignites, she discovers the man behind the legend is more dangerous than she ever imagined.
He pushes her away to protect her from the truth.
She pulls closer, desperate to melt the ice around his heart.
But some secrets aren't meant to be uncovered.
And some love stories were never meant to happen...
