Roped: the must-read dark cowboy romance

A brand new spicy, dark Western romance from bestselling author Saffron A. Kent. God of Malice meets Yellowstone in this stalker romance featuring a college student being hunted by a cowboy utterly obsessed with her.

Once he hunts her down,
He's never letting her go

Nineteen-year-old Peyton Turner has a stalker. No, she doesn't have proof but she can feel him watching her every move. She can feel his intense stares through her bedroom window, and she can smell his intoxicating scent when he's close. But every time she tries to catch him, he seems to disappear into the shadows. The only thing she knows for sure is that he wears a mask. A mask that hides a wicked scar running down his face but accentuates his startling green eyes.

She shouldn't revel in his dangerous attention, but she can't help herself. There's something about him that calls to her. Until her best friend and the only person she's ever been able to count on in her life, goes missing. Peyton has a feeling her masked stalker has something to do with it. After all, his sudden presence in her life can't be a coincidence. But instead of staying away from him, she has a plan: set a trap, draw him out of hiding and somehow bring her best friend home.

Except the man she's trying to hunt is an experienced hunter himself. And once he ropes her in like the prey she is, he's never letting her go.
