Ps. 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.
The Rancher’s Vengeful Heart
She lied to him. Now he'll make her pay.
Tassy never believed billionaire rancher Lucius Young would choose her over every woman in San Antonio. So she played the part of his worst nightmare: demanding, possessive, clingy.
But instead of running, the sinfully hot tycoon only smirked...before turning the tables. He matched her game—-more demanding, more possessive—-and refused to let her out of his arms, much less his sight.
His forceful passion shattered her defenses, and his sweet obsession stole her heart. When he whispered forever against her skin, Tassy believed him...until secrets from the past tore them apart.
Now, Lucius despises the very sight of her....and no amount of begging will quench his thirst for vengeance.

"MY APOLOGIES." LUCIUSfound himself playing the wolf in sheep's clothing for the first time in his life. "Have I bothered you?"
Tassy felt as if she had stepped in an alternate universe, and in this new world, everything she knew stopped making sense.
People often described Lucius Young as cold and aloof, and these were already the "good" things that people who actuallylikedhim had to say.
His business rivals, however...
Ruthless. Cold-blooded. Vicious.
And yet the Lucius in front of her seemed so...nicethat even though she did find his presence intensely disturbing, she actually heard herself say, "No, Mr. Young."
The billionaire raised a brow, and too late she realized she had inadvertently admitted to knowing who he was.
Oops?
Lucius gazed at his mystery girl thoughtfully. So she knew who he was, apparently, but she still hadn't attempted to engage his attention in any way. Was it her way of being coy?
"It seems you have me at a disadvantage..."
"I heard you speak once," Tassy felt the need to explain, "when I was still in university."
His lips curved. "And you still remembered?"
Tassy was mortified when he realized what he was hinting at.I can't believe this is happening.She was usually so,somuch more composed than this. It was one of the major reasons why Xylan had even broken up with her in the first place. Sowhy, dear God?Why had she ended up practically admitting that the billionaire had made such a huge impression on her at first sight?
Lucius liked the way her cheeks had turned a quick shade of pink at his words. In his world, a woman who could still blush naturally as she did was a rarity, and he was all the more obsessed with making her his.
In every way possible.
"I hope I didn't make you sleep."
"No, sir." Tassy told herself very firmly that she was just imagining thepurrin his voice.
"You still haven't told me your name."
"Tassy," she said reluctantly, having been unable to think of any reason to politely decline his request. "It's, um, short for Tassina."
