The Outsider

About the book

There are two things Bix Carpenter excels at: creating moonshine and navigating survival. However, now that she has officially left the family bootlegging business, her ability to get by is going to be essential. Unfortunately, getting caught camping on Four Corners Ranch land isn't the ideal way to start her new independence - especially when the composed owner of the ranch, Daughtry King, is the one who catches her and offers an intriguing proposition.

Daughtry proposes a job for Bix in exchange for room and board. The conservative cowboy doesn't seem like someone who would appreciate her feisty nature, but Bix hesitantly agrees. Daughtry is the finest man Bix has ever encountered, and she has never felt deserving, but she discovers herself falling for the reserved cowboy. Can she break through his barriers so they can move from simply surviving to truly thriving?
