Sovereign by Raya Morris Edwards
Sovereign is a dual POV, standalone, dark cowboy romance with an anti-hero MMC. It contains content only suitable for adults.****“I want you to live at Sovereign Mountain,” I say.She goes still for a long moment. She’s got butter on the tip of her thumb and she slowly licks it off. Flashing the tip of her tongue.“Why?” she asks.“For protection.”Her brow rises slowly. “Are you trying to take my ranch too?”I shake my head. “Technically, it’s my ranch until you pay the mortgage. No, I want something else, Miss Garrison.”“Okay,” she whispers. “What do you want?”“You,” I say. “In exchange for my protection and a hold on all repayments until our contract is over.”Her jaw drops and she goes crimson. We sit there in stunned silence for a moment and when she wipes her hands, I see them shake.“I’m not paying you with s**,” she says.“It’s not like that,” I say. “I want you as my submissive.”She levels a blank stare on me. Okay, maybe we’re starting from square one.“Do you know what that means?” I ask gently.She blinks, jerking her head. “Yes, I know what it means. I’ve watched movies and read…you know, books.”I smile. “Dirty romances?”She shrugs. “So what if I did?”It strikes me as…cute, although I’m not the sort of man who usually finds anything cute. I’ve been on Sovereign Mountain for so long that most things are just…grim. I haven’t seen anything as beautiful, as soft, and, well, cute, as she is up here in a long time.She shifts her thighs, squeezing them together for half a second. I catch the movement and I know what it means. She’s turned on by my proposition.Now I just have to get her to admit that out loud.****SummaryI met Gerard Sovereign only once. Now I'm sitting across the table from him with a contract of convenience that makes me blush.And he's completely serious. My safety for his...pleasure.After my husband's death, I inherited his property which runs up against Sovereign Mountain Ranch. On the other side are my two brothers-in-law, who are out for blood and money and my land.That leaves me with no protection except the mysterious, dangerous, and wealthy Gerard Sovereign, owner of the largest ranch in the state.There's no law, no safety, at Sovereign Mountain but his.I think I know what kind of man Gerard Sovereign is, but I'm not prepared for what happens when I put pen to paper.Signing his contract. Selling my soul to the devil.
