Branded by Laramie Briscoe

Some hearts are worth stealing… even if the consequences are deadly.

When Atlee Walsh is attacked at the pharmacy where she works, the last person she expects to save her is Devlin Nelson. The oldest of the infamous Nelson brothers. A rugged and distant ex-soldier. A man with a reputation as dark as the past he won’t talk about.

After Devlin spirits her away to his remote cabin to recover, Atlee knows she should be scared. But all she feels is safe. Wanted. She can’t ignore the simmering attraction between them. And when the walls between them break, the quiet strength behind his silence becomes impossible to resist.

But danger isn’t far behind. With a corrupt deputy obsessed with bringing the Nelson brothers down, and powerful enemies closing in, Atlee uncovers a truth she isn’t ready for: the cattle rustling that’s kept the ranch afloat… and the man she’s falling for at the center of it.

In a small town where water rights determine survival and old grudges never die, Atlee and Devlin will have to fight not just for their love, but for their lives. Because some men will do anything to get revenge, even use the woman Devlin loves against him.
