Tiernan de Haas has just lost her parents, will she survive the scandal and gossip too? Now alone, she discovers they left her guardianship to an Uncle she never knew? Technically Jake is her Step- Uncle which means even in death her parents left her with a stranger.
Tiernan has a choice – give her new “found family” a chance or seek emancipation. A lifetime in her parent’s shadows forgotten and unseen Tiernan decides to take a chance and heads for Colorado.
Maybe this new chapter will provide closure and a fresh start. Little does she know the bear trap that awaits in Colorado. It’s time for Tiernan to brush up on her survival skills, dive into a bit of manual labor, and get dirty. The rugged outdoors is a far cry from the LA glitz and glam.
Spending time in the outdoors might do her a bit of good, help her process her grief and find peace. If she can follow the rules she might be able to keep her secrets safe. What will happen when her new family discovers the truth? Will she still be safe?
Tiernan is at risk of becoming the prey from the local boys in a town and the animals in the wild. What did she get herself into?
n order to find love all of them will need to overcome pain, loss, betrayal, and deception. Who will find forgiveness, love and redemption? This book is a journey that will leave you trying to figure it out until the last page. You think you know how it ends… but you don’t.
This is an Inferno Read so smokin’ hot your A/C and fan won’t help cool you down. A cold shower might help … but then again. Contains elements of Erotica, BDSM, explicit scenes of a sensitive or sexual nature, and M/F/M sex scenes
Trigger Warnings: misogynistic behavior and power imbalance, group sex, sexual violence, dubious consent, child neglect, suicide & bondages. Anyone who believes such content may upset them is encourage to consider their well-being when choosing whether to continue reading.
