Branded As Trouble

It's hard to trust the future... when you've been branded by the past. Rough Riders, Book 6 Tattoo artist India Ellison is well acquainted with preconceived notions. As a walking advertisement for the tattoo shop she's set up in a small Wyoming town, she's used to off-color comments about her colorful tats and hair. Still, life is good. She's clean and sober, dotes on her sister's kids and best of all, spends most of her free time with her best buddy, Colt McKay. Reformed bad boy rancher Colt never expected three years of sobriety to lead to three years of abstinence. Curbing his craving for booze is nothing compared to the ever-increasing craving for his hot-tempered, hot-bodied best friend, India. Too bad she hasn't a clue that Colt's been head-over-bootheels in love with her from day one. After an unexpected, steamy interlude, all India can think about is riding the sexy cowboy as hard and fast as her motorcycle. But Colt is determined to show her a slower ride is worth the wait. The friendship that helped them conquer their past is about to be tested...by the new addiction they feel to each other.

Every town needs a bad boy, and Wrangler’s Creek’s has been gone far too long… Getting his high school girlfriend pregnant was just one square in Roman Granger’s checkered past, but it changed him forever. When his son’s mother skipped town after the birth, Roman decided to do the same, baby Tate in tow, hoping for a fresh start. Now Roman fears his teenage son is following in his wayward footsteps, so he returns home to Wrangler’s Creek, aiming to set him straight. It’s there he encounters Tate’s cousin Mila Banchini, the good-girl opposite of Roman who’s had a crush on him since childhood. The old spark between them undeniably never died, though Roman worries it’ll only lead to heartache. But if falling for Mila is such a bad idea, why does everything about holding her feel so right?

Als India Ellison aufs Land zog und ihr eigenes Tattoo-Studio eröffnete, tat sie dies, um in der Nähe ihrer Schwester zu sein und ihr Leben auf die Reihe zu kriegen. Dass sie aufgrund ihrer Tattoos, Piercings und ausgefallenen Haarfarben wahrscheinlich ewig eine Außenseiterin bleiben wird, macht ihr nichts aus. Denn sie ist seit Jahren clean, sozial engagiert, hat ihre Familie und ihren besten Freund um sich. Colt McKay. Alkohol, Drogen und Sex prägten Colts exzessive Vergangenheit. Seit drei Jahren jedoch ist er trocken. Genauso lange lebt er bereits in sexueller Abstinenz. Seine Sucht nach Alkohol unter Kontrolle zu halten ist ein Kinderspiel, verglichen mit der Sehnsucht, die er für seine beste Freundin India empfindet. In all den Jahren war sie seine Rettung, und bis zum heutigen Tag seine größte Versuchung.
