If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this fucking life, it’s that nothing comes for free.

If you want something, you have to work hard, be prepared to sweat your fucking ass off, and even that’s not always enough.

When Tara showed up at my office out of the blue that day, begging me to save her ranch, I had to think on my feet. I forced myself to remain cool and think logically, even though my first inclination was to do whatever Tara asked of me. I’d heard rumors that Redlands was in trouble after her father died, and it wasn’t surprising that Tara wasn’t up to the task of running such a huge ranch. Not her fault when her overprotective old man never allowed her to get involved in what he considered ‘man’s work’.

So, was I really prepared to give up my position at one of the best ranches in the area for a shot at managing Redlands? No, I decided I wasn’t. Being just the manager wasn’t enough. My goal had always been to have my own ranch someday, and knowing Tara had to be desperate to come begging for my help after twelve long years, I decided it was time to play hard ball.

I wanted the ranch and I wanted the girl.

All or nothing.

I wasn’t prepared to be just the hired help again, someone who could be dispensed with on a whim. A lot of water had passed under the bridge since that day her father caught us together, and I was no longer prepared to be treated like dirt. No, I quickly decided that if this was going to happen, it had to be done on my terms. I had to remain strong and focused and not act like a love-sick fool, even though Tara looked so vulnerable and scared when she walked in, that the urge to rush straight in and rescue her was virtually overwhelming. Keep her. Make her yours.

Because the moment she walked back into my life, a part of me I thought had died years ago sprung back to life. My frozen heart. The girl I’d once loved had grown into the stunning woman in front of me, and she was even more perfect than I remembered. Mine.

But I sensed there was more to this than met the eye. Intuitively, I knew her desolate look had to be down to more than just worry about the ranch. Time would tell, because Tara’s fate was sealed that day. Having found her way back to me, no way was I going to be stupid enough to let her slip away from me again.

Not this time.

I’d never been able to forget Tara. My first true love. The only one. I guess that’s why I’d never married, although I don’t deny I’ve had my fair share of hookups—I’m a red-blooded guy with normal healthy needs after all. But I’ve never forgotten a single thing about her. The scent of her gorgeous thick brown hair, the rich timbre of her voice, her happy, carefree laugh, the way her blue eyes sparkled after we made love.
