Dark Timber

A darker small-town cowboy romance about a stoic, protective rancher who secretly wants the sassy photographer—and finally gets his chance when danger forces her to move in with him.

I thought Griffin Calhoun didn't want me.

Turns out, the stoic cowboy of Dark Timber Ranch has been secretly pining for me all along.

So when someone breaks into my apartment, he doesn't hesitate to move me into his spare room.

Now we're living together without living together.

I have a bed of my own, but it's Griffin's that I keep thinking about. After a year of trying to get his attention, there's no way I'm making the first move. A girl's got her pride.

Then a summer thunderstorm has me hiding in a closet, and Griffin spends the night holding me through it. By morning, we're tangled in each other's arms, and my pride doesn't stand a chance.

Apparently, sharing a bed isn't enough for Griffin. He's already talking marriage, baby names, and building me a house if I don't like his.

Before long, Griffin’s place feels like home—and so does he.

It’s easy to forget why I moved in with him in the first place.

Until we discover the break-in wasn't random. Someone was after a photograph I took of Dark Timber Ranch.

I still don't know what I captured.

But they do.

And they're willing to do anything to keep it buried . . .

Even kill me.
