Bound by Defiance

He's a ruthless billionaire rancher. She's the stubborn city woman hired to challenge him. When power collides with passion, neither stands a chance.

Hunter built an empire on fear, discipline, and absolute control. A brooding forty-year-old widower and father of two little girls, he's known for his iron will, his unforgiving rules, and the cold heart he swore would never love again. No one dares take him on—and no one survives it unchanged.

Until Grace walks into his life.

Fresh from Las Vegas and determined to prove herself, Grace accepts a temporary contract at the Blackwood ranch, unaware she's stepping straight into a storm. She's smart, relentless, and unafraid to call him out—everything Hunter hates… and everything he can't ignore.

In a house where she's not welcome and a land soaked in secrets, sabotage, and long-standing grudges, Grace becomes the one force Hunter can't control. Their chemistry is instant, electric, and dangerously addictive. The harder they fight, the faster they fall.

But pride is a battlefield.
Desire is a weapon.
And surrender might cost more than they ever expected.
