Branded Betrayal

A young woman and the cowboy who broke her heart face off in a tumultuous second-chance romance about family, redemption, and loyalty from USA Today bestselling author Kristen Luciani.

When her favorite aunt dies, Savannah Carlson inherits the family's struggling ranch. But after leaving her corporate life in Denver, she arrives in Wyoming to find things worse than she thought. Turns out, she's been saddled with an impossible task: Make Red Rock Ranch profitable in six months' time--or lose it forever.

Overwhelmed yet resolute, she digs right in, ready for anything. Then Blaze Hartman, her brother's ex-best friend and the slick cowboy who once shattered her heart, returns to town too. When Savannah meets his whiskey eyes, she can't deny their familiar spark. But those eyes still hide a world of dark secrets.

Running the ranch is anything but simple. Dangerous local crime lords and shocking new details about her parents' tragic deaths only add to the chaos. As much as it hurts, Savannah longs for the burn of an old flame to help her through. But can she and Blaze rekindle love from the ashes of betrayal?
