The Wild One (Secret Fires #1)

In the midst of the vast, windswept Texas plains stood a ranch wrested from the wilderness with blood, sweat and tears. It was the shining legacy of Thomas McBride to his five living heirs. But along with the fertile acres and her of cattle, each would inherit a history of scandal, lies and hidden lust that threatened to burn out of control.

Disowned by his father years before, Tanner had sworn he would never return to the Circle M until the old man was dead. But an unusual clause in Tom McBride's last will and testament brought him home early, to face the scheming stepmother who'd ruined his life, to find the one girl who could tame his heart and reawaken his faith in the healing power of love.
