About this listen
After a special ops mission goes south, Colton shows up in his best friend’s hometown, determined to honor the promise he made when his platoon brother was dying in his arms: to look after the man’s little sister, Meadow.
He didn’t know that promise would mean working on a mountainside ranch, raising cattle while she trains the horses. Or that his new boss would be his friend’s father—a man who doesn’t hide his contempt that Colton caused the death of his only son.
Which is what makes what comes next even harder, because the ranch isn’t helping subdue Colton’s bad boy nature any more than the military did…and while claiming his boss's daughter for his own seems unconscionable when he’s already taken his boss’s son’s life, Meadow’s relentless teasing sparks Colton’s darkest inclinations yet.
If you're a fan of Elle James, Susan Stoker and Anna Hackett, you will devour The Bad Boy Ranch!
Start reading this Military Cowboy Romance today and see if Colton can teach the ranch brat a lesson, or if her refusal to obey will land them both in a world of trouble neither could have imagined.

Anything except the smart, sexy veterinarian he had the hottest night of his life with…and the bombshell she drops on him… Just because Demi wasn’t planning to get pregnant doesn’t mean she can’t handle a baby.

Ruthless Promise
Ruthless Promise by Em Petrova was an excellent read! Its the first book in the Unbroken Brotherhood Series.
Colton is a special forces soldier that loses his best friend, Forest, in combat. He made Forest a promise to help his sister, Meadow, on his family ranch.
The story has twists & turns but is very engaging.
