Stripped Down — Anne Marsh

In an erotic new contemporary cowboy romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Anne Marsh, wealthy rancher Angel Mendoza goes head to heart with the one woman he could never forget.

“I warned her once -- I don't give warnings twice -- that if she ever came back when she was grown up, she'd be mine. She flipped me off and told me I wasn't the boss of her. She was playing with fire and she knew it, but she also thought she was safe. Off-limits. Taboo. She hadn't figured out that the only rules I played by were my own.” ~ Angel Mendoza

When I come home to Lonesome, California, I'm expecting to inherit a house and a fresh start on my crappy life -- not a hard-eyed cowboy. Angel Mendoza is more devil than saint. He's also richer than God, and a sexy asshole to boot. I have no business wanting to get close to him. He's got a few plans of his own, too -- like getting into my bed and my body. Heart optional.

Angel's need for total control in bed shocks and thrills me, but giving in and letting go isn't easy. Despite everything he owns -- the land, the vast wealth, the loyal cowboys who run his cattle -- Angel is tormented by demons. He'll give me his body, but never his secrets… or his heart.
