Twenty-three-year-old Raelynn has had enough of the small town life. Enough of the same people. Enough of the same old Saturday night. So she decided to do something about it.
Leaving Wyoming isn't easy but she's determined to make a new life for herself on her own. Even if that means starting from the bottom. Houston seems huge, but she's already found a job working as an interim secretary for an older man working towards retirement, and a place to live with an adorable elder couple.
Kyle has an attitude like that of a city slicker, which agitates Rae to no end. What could a city kid, heir to a huge law firm, have to complain about? Given they were in the city; she'd better come to accept it. That, and the fact that Kyle was her boss's grandson and none other than the heir himself, when her boss finally does retire that is. It'd probably be a good idea to keep her mouth shut.
Certain things are better left unsaid. But can Raelynn manage that?

Wild Hearts
COMPLETED and EDITED with Grammarly. Raelynn Montgomery was a child genius, graduated high school at 14, undergrad at 15, graduate at 18, and doctorate in veterinary medicine at 21. I've had my life planned out since I was a child and everything is going according to plan, that is until my mom threw a wrench into my plans. I had no idea she married a new man and moved to Wyoming, she was supposed to be in Texas still working at her law firm. We were never close but she wants to change that now, she wants me to be apart of her new family with her new husband and his two sons. I had no idea the feelings that would develop for these two men... and their best friend. This is going to be interesting considering my past, the one boy that ruined relationships for me because of abuse. Can these 3 cowboys change my opinion on love? Copper Bishop, aged 34, a navy SEAL veteran with baggage from his time in the military. He's fiercely loyal and protective of his family. Rhett Bishop, aged 30, a navy fighter pilot veteran, lost half of his right arm serving his country faithfully. He's guarded and has a little hot headed when need be. Ezra Woods, aged 34, he's best friend's with Copper and Rhett having grown up together. He's the sheriff of the county that the Bishop Ranch is located in. Author's note: This book is loosely based off of Yellowstone, Copper is most definitely based off of Kayce from Yellowstone (love him so, so much) but Copper will be different in some ways. I'm kind of putting a mafia spin on it as well. This is a mature book, there will be sexually explicit scenes and the FMC (Rae) will end up with three (3) men. It is a why choose/reverse harem book. I will have a list of characters and probably a playlist listed, if you're not a country music/western music fan, ignore those playlist (lol). Please do not steal my work, I'm working really hard on this book.Complete
