Branding Lily

Men of Cardosa Ranch, Book 1

I killed my first man at age seven. It was my father, and I regret nothing. As a man, I’ve lost count of the lives I’ve taken. My name is revered but not for the reason many believe. When Lily showed up on my doorstep closer to death than a gravedigger, I vowed to hunt the man responsible…but it was my name she whispered in fear. I shouldn’t want her. I shouldn’t make her mine. But I do.

And I did.

Now I will kill every man who has ever touched her, and then I will hand her the weapon to shoot the man responsible for her nightmares. Together we will show the world why they should fear the name…Cardosa.
