Rancher's Healing Obsession: A Grumpy Wounded Hero Age Gap Romance

by Ali Wilder

A wounded bull rider. A virgin caretaker. Six weeks under his roof—and he's already decided I'm his.

Sadie

He's my patient.
Too grumpy. Too intense. Too broken to chase me.

Colt Dawson was an eight-time bull riding champion.
Now he can barely walk.

I'm here to fix his leg. That's it.

Then he pulled me onto his lap.
And I felt exactly how much he wanted me.

He's ten years older. Angry at everything.
But he sees every curve. Wants every inch.

And when he's on his knees, showing me what's coming when he heals?

I believe him.

Colt

I've spent my whole life holding on for eight seconds.
Now I'm holding on for her.

She walked in with that nervous smile and those soft curves, and something in me cracked open.

I can't chase her. Can't pin her down.
Not yet.

So I use my mouth. My hands. My words.

She's getting my ring.
She's getting my baby.
She's getting forever.

Some men hold on for eight seconds.

I'm holding on for life.
