Branded by the Rancher's Ghost — Delilah Fawkes

Kat knows she's running when she buys the old ranch on a whim, but is she running from her old life, or to something more... something that calls to her as she lies in bed, listening to the howling, prairie wind?

Because aside from the secret she can't seem to forget, the ranch holds a mystery of its own. The scratching in the attic above her bed... a box of keepsakes of a heart-broken cowboy... the nagging idea that death isn't the end of love, but perhaps, a new beginning... The shadow looming over her, smelling like male sweat and old saddle leather...

As Kat explores the strangeness that lurks in the darkness, calling to her in her dreams, she faces something stronger than the reaper. A love that waits. A love that bleeds. A love that does the unspeakable to bring two hearts back together again.

Magic, sensuality, and the intoxication of fear combine in this heady, erotic 8700 word story, guaranteed to stick with you, like a brand on your heart. Are you ready to face the darkness, and shine a light on a forbidden love?
