Bounty - kristen ashley

Justice Lonesome has enjoyed a life of bounty.

Even so, shes inherited the curse of the Lonesome.

A poets soul.

Which means shes still searching for something.

Searching for peace.

Searching for the less.

thats more.

And when the foundation of her life is pulled out from under her, grieving, she goes to the mountains to find her oasis.

She hits Carnal, Colorado and decides to stay.

Deke Hightower lost everything at the age of two.

He lost it again at fifteen.

His life has not been about bounty.

Its been about learning to live with less, because theres no way to get more.

Dekes also watched all his friends go down to the women who gave them what they needed.

He wants that for himself.

But he knows that search isnt going to be easy because hes a rider.

His home is the road.

Thats the only place he can breathe.

And the woman who takes her place at his side has to do it sitting on the back of his bike.

When Deke meets Justice, he knows shes not that woman.

Shes cute.

Shes sweet.

And shes into him, but shes got it all and Deke knows he wont fit into that.

So he holds her at arms length.

Establishes boundaries.

And Justice will take it because she wants Deke any way hell let her have him.

But when Justice finds herself a pawn in a dangerous game, Deke makes a decision.

When he does, he has no idea hes just opened himself up to bounty.
