Wilde Night. Love is a Cowboy, #5

As the last of the Wilde siblings still unattached, I've become pretty good at lying to myself. I tell myself I'm happy with my single life. That the ranch, my family, and the steady stream of women willing to share my bed are all I need. But the truth is, I want what everyone else in my family has-someone to love, someone who loves me back, someone who makes coming home mean something. I'm just convinced I'll never find her in River Falls. Then Emberlynn walks into my life. She's new to our small mountain town, running from a past she's desperate to leave behind.
When my family hires her as the ranch veterinarian, my mother gives me one simple job the first night I meet Emberlynn: befriend her, show her around town, and keep an eye out for her. Easy enough. Except somewhere between late-night conversations, stolen smiles, and moments I can't stop replaying, Emberlynn becomes more than someone I'm supposed to protect. She becomes the woman I can't imagine my life without.
