Nothing else matters except to make her his. Before he can do that, his conscience compels him to explain why he entered an institution at age sixteen and spent five years learning to read, write, and function in mainstream society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUpon learning that Cord is the son of a notorious psychopathic serial-killer, Mattie realizes how miraculous it is that he survived, much less made it all the way back from crazy. The knowledge only makes her love him more. Just when it would seem Cord is finally about to know love, two phenomenally staggering events irrevocably change the course of his life. First, a sociopath becomes fixated on him. Next, his daddy escapes from prison with the sole intent of tracking him down. Now, anyone in Cord’s life is at risk because the only thing deadlier than a psychopath is the random unpredictability of a sociopath. God help the man who has to contend with both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReader Alert! \u003cbr\u003eAt eighteen, Mattie Rayne has no idea what it means to be sexually and sensually fulfilled… until she meets Cord Archer. While she’s an innocent, her body responds to Cord with an ancient cellular wisdom. Now, no one but Cord can satisfy her. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo My Readers: \u003cbr\u003eWhen I first sat down to write this story, I intended it to be all about the glorious west. The immense Montana sky. The courageous, driving predilection the American cowboy has for the open-range. Yet, what came out was a gritty, teeth-clenching, dark story about a man who was so abused for the first sixteen years of his life, I almost stopped writing… until I realized this story epitomizes the unstoppable nature of love, and underscores our phenomenally remarkable ability as human beings to overcome any obstacle.","brand":"Red Sage Publishing, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163472675056,"sku":"2940148668657","price":5.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148668657_p0.jpg?v=1763706192","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148668657","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
