Wild ain’t for taming.
Willa Hexley was born under the wide western sky, a Mage rancher’s daughter with the spirit of a cowboy. When her father’s death leaves her in charge of Brightwater Ranch, she refuses to let any man—vampire or mortal—tell her how to handle it. She runs her land like a queen with a revolver, giving refuge to the broken and hunted.
One fateful summer, Benjamin “Boone” Ashridge shows up at the ranch as a young refugee, stealing Willa’s breath and heart before riding off to become one of the most infamous outlaws. Years later, he returns as the hardened leader of the Dread Spur Boys—the rowdiest bunch of lawless men—and he keeps coming back.
When Boone comes back bleeding after a job gone wrong, Willa takes him in again, along with his rough and loyal gang. This time, he’s brought along every last one of the leaders of the Dread Spur Boys, including his newest partner in crime, Jesse Woods. He carries the same dark charm Boone once did and the same hunger in his eyes when he looks at her.
As Willa and the Dread Spur Boys plan a daring rescue to save one of their own, she’ll have to decide what kind of queen she wants to be—one who hides behind her walls, or one who rules beside the outlaws who would burn the world down for her.
