The Rancher's Royal Bride — Jenn Roseton

When a threat is made against her, Ellie Sterling is sent to hide out at Logan Trask's ranch in Wyoming. She doesn't know who is after her. Or why. She's a curvy illustrator, for goodness' sake, not a crime fighter.

Retired SEAL Logan is asked to look after Ellie. When he finds her curves more tempting than he thought possible, suddenly he's the one in danger - of losing his heart.

But when revelations from Ellie's shadowed past take her by surprise, Logan is the one she turns to. Can this burned-out SEAL give her a safe haven in his strong arms, despite having a secret of his own?

This is a sexy contemporary romance novella of approximately 31,000 words. Although it's part of the Billionaire Brothers series, it can be read as a stand-alone romance.

EXCERPT:

“I'm … I'm glad you're here,” she confessed. Although his hands were just touching her shoulders, she felt safe in his loose embrace.

Their gazes met and held for a long second, then Logan's mouth oh-so-slowly descended.

Ellie's pulse skittered and she held her breath.

He kissed her lightly, softly. A tingle of electricity zipped through her. Then his lips claimed hers once more. Ellie sighed against his mouth as the kiss intensified. Just as her arms stole around his neck, he stepped back, wrenching his mouth from hers.

“Sorry.” He raked his hand through his hair. “I shouldn't have done that.”
