Toxic by Cathleen Cole

She’s willing to die to protect her family’s ranch, but he’ll take on every threat just to keep her safe…

Billie

I’ve poured my heart and soul into keeping my family’s ranch running, but someone’s determined to take it all away.

When they nearly kill my grandfather, I’m forced to accept help from an unexpected source—a ruggedly handsome biker who rides in like a dark knight on a Harley.

Toxic is everything I shouldn’t want, and exactly what I need.

The way he looks at me sets my soul on fire, but I’ve been burned before.

Can I trust him with my heart when I’m already trusting him with my life?

Toxic

The moment I lay eyes on Billie, lightning strikes—just like my pops always said it would.

She’s standing there with a shotgun aimed at my chest, fierce and beautiful, and I know she’s the one.

But someone’s trying to steal her ranch out from under her, and they’re willing to spill blood to do it.

I’ll protect what’s mine at any cost but convincing this stubborn woman to let down her walls might be the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced.

As threats escalate and secrets surface, we discover there’s more buried on her ranch than just family history.

In a fight for love, land, and legacy, we’ll have to decide if the risk of opening our hearts is worth the chance at being together forever.

Sometimes lightning strikes twice—if you’re brave enough to ride the storm.
