Enjoy this bad boy romance at a terrific discount. I’m hell-bent on claiming Brynn… even if it goes against “doctor’s orders”. Being stuck in a hospital bed for seven days is not how I wanted to spend time here in my hometown in Texas. But, that bucking bronco at the rodeo had other plans for me. Bruised tailbone, banged-up ribs, and a cracked tibia. Sadly, my rodeo days might be over. One thing that’s brightening my bedridden days here is Nurse Brynn. Her warm smile, caring touch and killer curves under that uniform are driving me wild. And she’s sneaking me sodas behind her boss’s back. Score! With every massage from her, we’re getting close. A little TOO close. Nurses getting romantically involved with patients is completely off-limits. She could lose her job, and I could have this whole town talking trash about me. I don’t care. Life’s short and we only live once. The doctor in charge has noticed the fire between Brynn and me, and we’re paying the price. He’s being an absolute prick to me and he’s trying to control Brynn’s every move. He has ulterior motives and wants her all for himself. There’s no way I’ll let that happen. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect Brynn from this snake. The stakes are high, but I’m determined to show Brynn what this cowboy is made of and give her the ride of her life.
