Taming the Heart: Sprayed Edge Edition by Elliott Rose (Paperback)

This breathtaking sprayed edge edition is available on a limited first print run only. A summer job on a ranch should be simple. Fresh air, hard work, and a chance to enjoy life in a small mountain town. For Sage Maloney, it is meant to be a season of freedom and fun. Independent and fiercely protective of her heart, she has always preferred to keep people at arm’s length and avoid anything that might make her vulnerable.

Then she meets Beau Heartford.

A former professional bull rider, Beau is everything Sage never expected. Older, dependable, and impossible to ignore, he offers glimpses of a life where she might finally let someone take care of her. The chemistry between them is immediate, and every day spent working together makes resisting their attraction even harder.

But there are lines that should never be crossed.

Beau is not just her boss. He’s also wearing a wedding ring.

As summer temperatures rise in Crimson Ridge, so do the feelings neither of them can deny. Stolen moments, lingering looks, and growing temptation make it increasingly difficult to keep their distance. Yet acting on their attraction could have consequences that reach far beyond their jobs.

Surrounded by the beauty of the mountains and the close-knit atmosphere of a small town, Sage finds herself questioning the walls she has built around her heart. Beau, meanwhile, carries secrets of his own behind his calm exterior and ocean-deep eyes.

With emotions running high and the stakes growing by the day, both must decide whether some connections are worth the risk or if certain boundaries exist for a reason.

Perfect for readers who enjoy cowboy romance, age-gap relationships, forbidden love, workplace tension, small-town settings, and emotionally charged contemporary romance with plenty of steam.
