Tempted - Paperback

Some lines should never be crossed... but men like this are worth the risk.

When Aubree Weber returns to Grizzly River Ranch in South Dakota heartbroken and pride bruised, the last person she expects to fall for is Jesse Nelson. Her brother's best friend. Her former protector. Her former protector. The cowboy who kissed her on her eighteenth birthday... then walked away.

Now twenty-seven and reeling from a failed relationship, Aubree can't ignore the way Jesse watches her across the ranch. He's no longer the safe, steady boy she once knew. And when she catches him sneaking off with his brothers, stealing cattle for their own operation, she sees just how dangerous he's become. His threat should scare her. Instead, it lights a fire she thought had died.

With her brother Truett, the only family she has left, injured in a ranch accident, Aubree is forced to rely on Jesse. The man who once pushed her away now looks at her with raw hunger. And when he finally admits he's tempted, she realizes she's been playing with fire.

Loyalty runs deep on the ranch, and secrets can destroy everything. If Aubree falls for Jesse, she risks the only family she has left. But some cowboys don't ask permission-they take what they want.
