Sarah's Surrender (Ranchers of Chatum County Book 2)

John Garrett is a cynical multi-millionaire who is rarely denied anything he wants, until the day he meets Sarah McAlister. Sarah's been hurt in the past and everything about the brooding rancher sends her defenses on high alert. She tries her best to stay out of his path, but his relentless pursuit makes him all but impossible to resist.

Excerpt:

John knew his voice was rough, and the hesitation he could see in Sarah only confirmed it. She paused in the act of climbing up. Her foot on the running board was as far as she got before her eyes lifted to his with a look of extreme caution.

He tried to control his voice, but he knew it was a futile attempt. "Get in the damn car, Sarah."

He watched as she licked her lips and took a deep breath. Then she lifted herself onto the plush leather seat and pulled the door closed.

He activated the locks immediately.

Her eyes flew to his and he leaned over and pulled the seatbelt strap over her shoulder. He could feel the subtle trembling of her body and knew she was out of her element and probably even scared. He couldn't find it within himself to care; she had him on a knife-edge and had since the first day he'd seen her. He was purely pissed off by the engagement ring on her finger and felt the need to punish her for it. He snapped the seatbelt in place with a discernable click and then lifted her chin and gripped it between his fingers. "You don't think I intend to let you go now, do you?"
