Breathe for Me - Brittany Ann

DENVER

The Hallow Ranch was left to me, the first-born son.

Before I inherited the ranch, I left to serve my country. When I came back to embrace my destiny, I was tricked.

One night of lies and betrayal led me here. Without a brother. With a son.

The Hallow Ranch is my focus. I have to ensure my son's future, whatever it takes.

That includes ignoring the beautiful woman trying to take what's mine.

VALERIE

I have a job to do.

Did I enjoy this job?

No, but it pays for my mom's chemo. She’s all I have left.

When I was assigned to propose the pipeline's offer to the Hallow Ranch, I expected some old rancher.

I never saw Denver Langston coming - gorgeous, rude, and stubborn.

The Hallow Ranch account would cover our bills for two years, but this rancher isn't letting me have it.

Saddle up, cowboy, because I'm not giving up without a fight.
