He wears the badge now. But she never cared for rules. Wynn Wilder was born barefoot and brazen, raised in the dust of Tillman Ranch with a snarl on her lips and defiance in her bones. For most of her life, she was just the tagalong kid sister - Luke Wilder's little spitfire, and Gator Tillman's favourite source of trouble. But time has teeth. And it changes everything. Now Wynn's grown, all sharp tongue and sweet curves, part-time horse trainer and part-time singer with a voice that could bring a man to his knees. And Gator - her brother's best friend, the boy who used to shove frogs in her boots - is suddenly seeing her in a whole new light. A light he has no business stepping into. He's trying to be good. Clean conscience. A badge on his chest. A last name to live down. And, a loyalty to Luke that he risks breaking, one stolen glance at a time. Because Gator went and fell for the one girl who's always been off-limits. From childhood rivalries to hayloft kisses, from bruised loyalties to nights that never should've happened, theirs is a love carved out of conflict - slow-burning and forbidden. She's the fire he can't put out. He's the gentle she never knew she deserved. When the smoke clears, only one thing's certain: Gator Tillman's wildfire girl doesn't burn alone. Author's note: If you ever wondered what Gator Tillman might've looked like if he'd been raised with a little more love, and what kind of woman it would take to teach him gentle - this is for you. This is Gator and Roy Tillman reimagined, rewritten, and redeemed.
