Protected by the Cowboy (Love in Ghost Lake Ranch #2)
Amber Duval
As the biggest man on Ghost Lake Ranch, Christopher Boone has always used his impressive strength to help run his family’s Montana mountain cattle spread. A gentle giant by nature, Chris accepts that his rugged looks attract as many women as his size intimidates other men. Since high school his heart has belonged to Rebecca Carson, however. While her overbearing, wealthy father has kept them apart, Chris still hopes that someday he and Becca will have a chance to be together.
When her father is trampled to death, Becca discovers that her greedy stepmother, Holly, deliberately caused the accident. Holly has also been secretly abusing Becca for years, and when confronted promises to kill her, too, if she doesn’t turn over the estate. Becca instead runs to Ghost Lake Ranch and hides out in one of the barns. When she’s discovered there by Chris Boone, the boy she fell in love with in high school, Becca begs him to keep her hidden.
Chris has heard rumors about Becca’s instability, but he’s never believed them, so he hides her in his parents’ old cottage by the lake. Trapped there by an ice storm, Chris and Becca finally admit their feelings and become lovers. Chris is outraged when he discovers the abuse Becca has suffered. Yet when Holly arrives with the police and exposes them, can Chris convince his brothers to help him save Becca? Or will they side with her murderous stepmother?
