After escaping the clutches of her abusive husband, Laura is determined to start fresh. But things take an unexpected turn when she finds herself drawn to her new business partner, Xavier Bradford. What starts as an innocent crush soon spirals into a fiery, complicated passion that neither of them can ignore.

Just as Laura begins to believe she's free, her past comes crashing back. Her husband, now a ruthless arms dealer with a vendetta, returns to claim what he believes is his. Desperate to escape the cycle of fear and violence, Laura is ready to run again-until she realizes that running is no longer an option. Laura finds herself under the reluctant protection of William Bradford.

As the lines between love and survival blur, secret is a bitch, regret is inevitable, and the only way out is through the fire.

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!
