Braving The Storm by Elliott Rose (Paperback)

I’m not supposed to feel this way. From international bestselling author Elliott Rose comes Braving the Storm, an interconnected standalone in the Crimson Ridge forbidden love series.

Back in L.A., Briar Lane was only ever useful for one thing: her surname. A business handshake, a pawn to be traded, her father’s chess piece shuffled between empires. Then she found a dirty secret stuffed into a jacket pocket, and in an instant, her entire world unravelled. So she fled to the one place she was certain her family could never find her: Crimson Ridge.

Arriving in this snowy, harsh world, Briar expected to start over entirely alone. She couldn’t have been more wrong. The abandoned mountain cabin she’s inherited isn’t quite what it seems, and neither is the man who consumes the space, and, before long, her every waking thought. Stôrmand Lane. An ex-pro bull rider. Her father’s adopted brother.

The two of them should never have found themselves isolated out here together, each trying to outrun a past that refuses to let go. But all it takes is one misunderstanding, one line almost crossed, for everything to change. Briar knows he’s a temptation she has to ignore, a man she absolutely cannot let herself want. Even when he looks at her with a hunger that can only spell ruin for them both.
