Book #2 Dark Obsession
Lana Harper;
I'd always liked puzzles, especially the human kind. And Asher Bennett? He was the most fascinating one I'd ever come across.
From my corner table, I watched him stroll into the café like he owned the place-broad shoulders, lazy smirk, dark hair that looked like it was styled by some god of casual perfection. He oozed charm, throwing a wink at the barista, who turned into a puddle on the spot. Classic Asher.
What he didn't know was that I'd already cracked him wide open. His social accounts, his private emails, even his encrypted texts-mine for the taking. For weeks, I'd been one step ahead, piecing together the man behind the swagger. And tonight? Tonight, I was ready to play.
"Enjoying the view?" His voice cut through my thoughts.
I looked up to find him standing over me, that damn smirk firmly in place. I tilted my head, feigning innocence. "Should I be?"
He slid into the seat across from me, leaning in like he owned the moment. "You tell me. You've been watching me since I walked in."
Bold. But I liked bold.
"Maybe I just have a thing for trainwrecks," I said with a sly smile.
Asher chuckled, low and amused. "Funny. I have a thing for troublemakers."
I leaned forward, matching his energy. "Then you're in the right place."
He didn't realize it yet, but this wasn't his game. It was mine. And I always played to win.
When long estranged Jake returns to West Line Ranch, Liz can't help but sense that they're in for a world of trouble - though as the two become closer, Liz becomes torn between her family and the man she's starting to fall for.
*****
After the beloved owner of West Line Ranch passes away, Liz and the rest of the ranch get a wild surprise at the reading of the will - long estranged Jake is on his way back to West Line Ranch, which can only mean trouble. When he arrives to not only discover he was granted full ownership of the ranch, but that he must stay for a year, he agrees, as there's nothing holding him to his past. However, the longer he stays at the ranch, the more he begins to fall for not just the simpler way of life in the country, but for Liz as well.
