Swallow Your Fear

About this book

Brynne’s life unravels in a single night after discovering her boyfriend’s infidelity. Seeking refuge in a lonely motel, she expects nothing more than a quiet place to lick her wounds. Instead, her world is upended when a mysterious, burly stranger wearing a skeleton mask breaks into her room. This is Booker, a rugged, morally grey rancher with a singular, dangerous mission—and he has decided that Brynne is the key to getting what he wants. Forced into an uneasy proximity, Brynne finds herself whisked away to Booker’s ranch under the guise of protection and leverage. What begins as a cold, strategic arrangement quickly ignites into a volatile game of cat and mouse. Booker expects a submissive pawn to help him settle a score, but he isn’t prepared for Brynne’s sharp tongue and fiery defiance. This dark, spicy romance features the "forced proximity" and "grumpy x sassy" tropes, escalating into a high-stakes power struggle. As the lines between captor and partner blur, their undeniable chemistry explodes in intense, primal encounters. In this world of masked cowboys and hidden agendas, Brynne discovers that while she started as a means to an end, she might just become the one thing Booker never anticipated: his match.
