The Cowboy’s Forbidden Lover (The McKinnon Ranch Cowboys)

She’s the Holt heiress with fire in her blood.
He’s the McKinnon cowboy she was raised to hate.
One forbidden love could destroy them both.

Savannah Holt grew up knowing one rule: never trust a McKinnon. Her grandfather built an empire on old grudges and expects her to protect it. The McKinnons are the enemy, the men who stole their land, their water, and their pride. But when Savannah walks into the Thirsty Spur and locks eyes with Cash McKinnon, her world tilts. His smile is slow and dangerous, his green eyes full of promise and trouble. He’s everything she shouldn’t want, and the only man she can’t seem to forget.

Cash McKinnon was born to work hard, play harder, and never back down from a fight. The youngest of the McKinnon brothers, he’s used to trouble finding him, but nothing compares to Savannah Holt. She’s beauty and defiance wrapped in silk, a walking reminder of a family feud that has cost his own too much already. Still, when he sees the fear behind her fire, he knows she’s more than her last name. She’s trapped in a legacy of lies, and Cash is the last man who should care.

But caring is exactly what he does.

When the feud between the Holts and the McKinnons reignites, Savannah must decide between the family that raised her and the man who makes her feel free. Choosing Cash could cost her everything. Staying loyal to Weston Holt might cost her the one person who truly sees her.

Secrets will come to light. Loyalties will be tested. And under the Texas sun, one forbidden love will prove that some hearts were never meant to stay apart.
