My father left me two things: a wild stallion, and a $280,000 debt held by the most ruthless men in the Bitterroot Valley.
I came home to Montana to save my father’s legacy, only to find an expedited foreclosure notice nailed to my door. The corrupt county sheriff wants my land, and he wants to seize my prized Hanoverian stallion. I am completely out of options—until the McCarthy brothers step in.
They are the kings of the northern ridge, and they hold the deed to my ruin:
Theo, the towering, stoic eldest who rules the valley with an iron fist and a demanding gaze.
Martin, the wild, scarred middle brother whose restless touch burns hotter than his volatile temper.
Carl, the calculating, cold-eyed youngest who holds the ledger that seals my fate.
They paid off the sheriff, but their protection comes with a devastating price. I am forced to sign a “Covenant of Ledger and Labor”. The terms are absolute: I must move into their isolated stone fortress. I must train their wild colts. And when the sun goes down and a brutal Montana blizzard locks us all inside, I belong to them. All three of them.
I thought I was signing away my pride to save my horse. But as the sub-zero winter traps us together, the lines between punishment, protection, and blistering desire begin to blur. They demand my absolute submission, but they might just be the only men strong enough to keep me safe.
I expected a cage. I never expected to crave the heat of my captors.
