Play It Safe
Kristen Ashley
After a betrayal tears them apart, a woman on the run returns to her rancher cowboy — and the enemy who never left.
Description
No connections. Play it safe. These were the rules Ivey lived her life by. Until she hit Mustang, Colorado, a perfectly imperfect town where the citizens were welcoming and one of them included the tall, beautiful, macho man, rancher cowboy, Grayson Cody. On the run for a decade, Ivey knew she was supposed to play it safe. But she was tired of being on the run. She wanted normal. She wanted real. She wanted a home. And she wanted Grayson Cody. And Gray wanted Ivey. Everyone who saw them could see they belonged together. There was one man in this world for Ivey and one woman for Grayson Cody. So they fell in love. But just as quickly as they fell together, they were betrayed and torn apart. Separated for years, Ivey was certain her life would not include her rancher cowboy. Until the town of Mustang reached out when Gray was in trouble. Even though she thought he broke her heart, she charged in to help, only for Gray and Ivey to discover they were betrayed. And not only that, Gray had an enemy who would stop at nothing to defeat him.
