How To Rope A Valiant Cowboy

Retired Navy Seal Duncan has a stellar set up. After years of covert operations dodging bullets, he's living the high life, teaching tourists basic outdoor survival skills at Silver Springs Ranch. The only thing he is evading these days are the countless women trying to trap him into a relationship. He enjoys women and their company immensely, but the institute of marriage and committed relationships are not for him.

And yet the newest maid, Eve, leaves him stymied. She's heart-stoppingly gorgeous, one of the worst maids he has ever encountered, and is holding on to dark secrets—ones that engage his every need to protect and shield her from whatever darkness eats at her.

She's a total thorn in his side, turning him inside out and tying him up in knots with unquenchable desire. Due to the severity of his fascination, he cuts a wide berth around her, figuring it's best to stay as far away from her as possible…

Until she comes to him one night and begs him to teach her self-defense. Duncan discovers he can't contain his need any longer, not when she is looking to him for guidance—and like his every fantasy come to life. He yearns to have her on her knees, begging for his dominance.

And when she becomes a target, he will do whatever it takes to save her.
