Ransom by L Eveland

I’ve protected Pae Saco Ranch for a decade. Now I’m about to burn it all down for the wrong man.

RANSOM
My job is to settle the score when the law turns its back. I don’t talk much. I don’t fuck strangers. I sure as hell don’t trust a Texas Ranger who shows up on my land with a dead judge at his feet and a smile like he’s already won.
Winston Valverde was supposed to be a problem I made disappear.
I’m starting to think he’s going to be a problem I can’t let go of.

WINSTON
I walked onto Pae Saco looking for a killer. I found one.
I just hadn’t counted on wanting him to put his hands on me.
Ransom Lanza is dangerous in a way I’ve only seen a handful of times in my career. He’s quiet. He’s loyal. He’ll burn the world down for the people he loves, and he doesn’t care who’s watching.
He thinks he can kill me. He doesn’t know yet that I’m already under his skin.
One way or another, that man is mine and I’m going to make damn sure he knows it.
