All Kinds Of Tied Down

Ian has always resisted being tied down. His partner, Miro, just has to convince him that getting tangled up in heartstrings isn't so bad.

The strongest bonds are the ones unseen... Businesswoman Skylar Ellison never intended to get tangled up with a sexy Wyoming cowboy-let alone conceive a baby with him in the parking lot of a honky-tonk. When it appears her baby daddy has taken off for greener pastures, Skylar pulls up her bootstraps and carries on alone. Rancher Kade McKay is knocked for a loop when he returns home after a year on the range and finds out he's the father of a three-month-old baby girl. When Skylar refuses to marry him, Kade grits his teeth, moves in and plays house by her rules to prove he's a man in for the long haul. Despite Skylar's insistence they are to remain strictly parenting partners for baby Eliza, their old passions flare hot as a prairie fire, spurring Kade to demand total sexual surrender from the headstrong woman. Skylar willingly submits her body to the hot-blooded cowboy, but she's hesitant to hand Kade the reins to her heart. Can Kade convince Skylar the wicked sex games aren't a temporary distraction? Or will he have to break out the ropes to show her he wants to be tied to her...forever?
