"Anna, I have something I need to tell you," He spoke those words softly, almost too soft to hear. 
"I love you, I promise I do. I'm.. I'm just not in love with you." That single sentence turned my blood to ice. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anastasia Mitchell was 15 when her heart was tore from her chest. The heartbreak made her distant, rude and depressed. That was then and this is now.  She's now 19 years old and doesn't care what happens she's going to live her life to the fullest. She doesn't think about the heartbreak, she doesn't even remember it. She's a completely different person than she was when it happened. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Anna?", That voice makes my body freeze and my blood starts to boil. He steps in front of me, just as I look up. "It is you! God have I miss-," I cut him off mid sentence, "Don't."

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 currentlynavailable to read on Wattpad In bookstores January 20th, 2026!
