FROM POPULAR ROMANCE AUTHOR VONNA HARPER

A man determined to have his way. A woman in need of taming. The battle begins.

One look at the big, half-wild stallion and Asha vows to ride him. One look at the beautiful stranger sneaking toward his newly acquired stud and Banner vows to teach her that he's in control.

Banner is a soldier, a man who has experienced little beyond weapons and war, but he and the men he's responsible for need more than conflict. Otherwise they'll lose what's left of their humanity. He turns abandoned ranch land into an escape and offers it to battle-weary fighters.

Nothing will stand in his way, especially not the slight, determined woman who insists that only she can handle Koko. He won't allow her to risk her life. When she disobeys, he disciplines her. Repeatedly.

Asha loathes the man who brought her, naked, to her knees, but her body isn't listening.
