"Wait, are you jealous?"

"Of course I am. That's why I need to protect you. You mine, after all, aren't you?"

She rested her forehead against Jadyn's, breath ghosting over her lips warmly. Her hands circled Jadyn's waist, fingers linking right behind her to pull her in closer. Just as she tipped her head, mouth open to taste the air Jadyn breathed, the door burst open. The force of the slam knocked the door back, making the knob leave an impressive indent in the wall behind it.

"Hey, Lizzo." A playful voice, followed by the cocking of a gun rang through the air. "Heard you weren't paying your dues, baby. Cough the fuck up."

***

Weary college student Jadyn Miller has just gotten out of a five year engagement in her junior year. She's fed up, tired, heartbroken, and (after losing her wallet at a strip club) broke. She vows to stay single for as long as she can help it, officially through with the turmoil relationships bring - until she meets Lisondra Martinez, a transfer student and winner of a hefty art scholarship that has her breezing  through her freshman year in NYU for sculpting, and offers to pay Jadyn $300 to sculpt her likeness for a contest. Lisondra is charming, gorgeous, and brilliant, managing to entice Jadyn beyond more than just being a simple art model, and just when Jadyn thinks she's ready to jump back into the hole, she gets tied up in Lisondra's seemingly petty drama - a drama that may be deadlier than Jadyn bargained for.

Western Heat by MustangSabby
40 parts Complete Mature
A fish-out-of-water story about a New York City chef who inherits a ranch, discovers a family he never knew, and finds unexpected love with a fiercely loyal woman. For fans of western romance superstars like Lyla Sage and Elise Silver. New York City chef Jake West had it all, but a few strokes of a pen meant no more marriage. No more restaurant. No more big city lifestyle. Then he receives a call explaining that his long-estranged father, Brett, has died, and he needs to return to the Canadian ranch he left as a child. Jake expects to go, sign more papers, and return to the city and rebuild his future. Instead Jake learns that Brett's left the ranch to him-and only him. Things might have been hot in his restaurant's kitchen, but that's nothing compared to what he faces now: a family he didn't know existed, and a property he doesn't want. Tanner and Brady, his half-brothers, don't want him around. And while his stepmother, Peony, welcomes him, there's Liz, Peony's daughter. She's not a West, but her loyalties lie with the family, not an outsider. However, as Jake settles into the rhythms of the ranch, he wonders if he's finally found something that's been missing in his life-especially as he and Liz grow closer. At first, it's just attraction, but when a sudden kiss ignites a heat in both of them, they can't ignore this raging inferno. Maybe Brett West knew what he was doing when he summoned his eldest son back home-and gave him a chance to change his life forever. This is Book 1 of the West Line Ranch Series. Book 2 - Western Connection and Book 3 - Western Flame, are currently available to read on Wattpad In bookstores January 20th, 2026!
