From internationally bestselling Western romance author, Greta Rose West, dive into this gripping fourth instalment in its new, glossy special edition cover...

A game-changing investment opportunity has fallen into the Cade brothers' laps, and Jay Cade has the skills to take it and turn his family's Ranch into an equine therapy destination. But what he doesn't have is the courage to take the reins from his oldest brother, Jack.

Until Billie Acker stomps back into his life.

Billie's beautiful, smart, and not sorry about it. Or at least, that's what she wants everyone to believe. The truth is that she's alone, and she has been for a long time. A hacker by trade, she's a master at finding people who don't want to be found, and she'll take any excuse to see the sexy Jay Cade again.

When the Cades' millionaire investor mysteriously goes missing, Billie and Jay set out to find him. They discover more than they thought they would on the road. They find family, friendship, and love.

But Billie has a firewall of her own to keep people at bay, and if Jay can't find the courage to break through it, she'll be the one disappearing...

The fourth book in The Cade Ranch Series, Braved, is a curvy, sex-fuelled, road trip romance about finding courage in the most unlikely places and following it home.

Trigger warning: Heavy themes of parental abandonment, family loss, and family history of sexual abuse and suicide are present in this story, but there is a guaranteed HEA. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll get mad as hell, but you'll be smiling by the end and begging for the next book! For 18+ readers.

About the Author

Greta Rose West was a floundering artsy flake until cowboy Jack Cade showed up, knocking on the door of her brain, pounding on it, and then he just plain kicked it down. She's a boy mom to a grown freakin' man, and she lives in NW Indiana with her husband and her two precocious kitties, Geoff Trouble and Sally Mae Midnight. When she's not writing, she's reading and devouring music. She enjoys indie films no one else likes, and her favorite food is Aver's Veggie Revival pizza.
