Shadow on the Range by Sofia Aves

He’s more damaged than he appears. But then so is she.
And the mountain always knows.

New Yorker Brit Lehman never intended to hook a cowboy, but Gage Colton digs his ruined talons into her the moment she sets foot on Red Hart Ranch land and refuses to let go. The city girl clings to her identity while the ex- military officer strips her bare one layer at a time.
That doesn’t stop her from giving him true NYC what for…while she trembles at his every touch that burns her soul deep.
Gage never meant to fall in love a second time. But when Brit Lehmen struts into his desolate, loner life, he gets an inkling the city girl is tougher than her primped exterior suggests. He’s prepared to rip her into pieces to make sure she is what she advertises…the spitting image of his late wife, with a sassy mouth that boils his blood to boot.
Gage is ready to risk his broken-grunt heart one last time while Brit isn’t honestly sure she can handle the ex-soldier who sets up camp anywhere and creates a home. Maybe that’s what she’s missing….until the temporary home she says she doesn’t want is ripped away, and she finds out just how much she needed it.

Shadow on the Range is an age-gap, enemies to lovers steamy cowboy romance and is part of the Red Hart Ranch world.
