Yosemite Ranch Book 1

by Gracie Owens

Genre: Small Town Contemporary Romance



Victoria:

I came to Yosemite Ranch to close a land deal and make partner.
Instead, I find temptation.

His name is Cal MacLaine. A smoking-hot ex-Navy SEAL and billionaire with breathtaking violet eyes. With a side of first-born-son: overprotective, suspicious, honorable to a fault. He thinks it’s his mission to protect his family’s ranch.

And keep me from reaching my objectives.

Will I close this deal? Will he send me packing? Or will we both find what we've always wanted in the most impossible of places…in one another’s arms?


Cal:

This redhead in her ridiculous stiletto heels has no business here.

Sure, she’s the most stunning thing I’ve ever seen. Sure, there’s an undeniable attraction between us. But she’s set her sights on a chunk of our family ranch.

I don’t trust her.

She says she’s in mergers and acquisitions. Sorry, gorgeous—I won’t be buying what you’re selling. So how has she succeeded where every other woman has failed? How is she knocking down the impenetrable wall I’ve built around my world—and my heart? I can’t fall in love with Victoria Backlund.

It’s impossible.

Impossible Love is a small town, enemies to lovers, billionaire, military contemporary romance and the first book in the Yosemite Ranch series. Yosemite Ranch...Every woman deserves an alpha hero.

Love Walks In

Yosemite Ranch Book 2  


Finn:

When my wife died in childbirth, I knew my guilt and grief would never heal.

I try to focus on the life that’s right in front of me. Jasmine, the eight-year-old daughter I worry I’m failing. The successful tech company I started with my brothers. And training horses at my family’s Yosemite Ranch.

Until the day Emma Clark walks in…

Radiating beauty and kindness despite her own pain. A miracle I never saw coming, and a temptation I can’t fight. Can I trust the unbreakable bond she forms with Jasmine? Can I forgive myself enough to welcome love again? And if I go looking into her past, will I find more than any of us bargained for?


Emma:

I know I’m damaged.

Foster care, loneliness, and minimum-wage work will do that to a girl. But I’m nobody’s victim, no matter what’s in my past. What I am is a realist, and I’m sure love isn’t in the cards for me.

Until Finn MacLaine’s gaze meets my own…

The insanely handsome former Navy SEAL is my new boss. And strictly off limits. But the attraction is too intense to ignore. The connection is too strong to break.

Is love, family, and true belonging suddenly within my grasp? Or am I just a housekeeper longing for the impossible?

Love Walks In is a small town, single dad, billionaire, military contemporary romance and the second book in the Yosemite Ranch series. Yosemite Ranch...Every woman deserves an alpha hero.

If I’m not extremely careful, I could drown in this woman’s guileless eyes.

 

I’m her boss. She’s living in my house, with my daughter. I remind myself of all this but it doesn’t seem to matter. I’m still in a daze, feeling her legs clutch me tight as I f*** her.

 

I trust Finn MacLaine. That flashing storm I see in his eyes isn’t anger—it’s lust—the same level of lust that’s been shooting through my body for days.

 

I don’t have to run from this man. So I run to him instead.

 

I had no idea a kiss could burn me alive like this.

 

He’s just the hottest man on the planet and I’m all his, to do with what he wants. And I know exactly what he wants.

 

“You’re very tall.”

The instant the words escape my mouth, I regret it. It is all

kinds of wrong for an employee to comment on her boss’s height,

his weight, his dark curls, those eyes of his that are the color of a

midnight sky, his SUV, his daughter, or how sexy he is.

Too sexy. Irresistibly sexy. Dangerously sexy.

“Six-foot-four,” he says.

----

She blushes. Again. I love it when she blushes. My cock

loves it when she blushes. I wonder if the rest of her body blushes.

I wonder if the touch of her skin is so hot that I’d burst into flames

with our bodies pressed to one another. Skin on skin.

“A video game,” I clarify. My voice is thick with lust and

comes out in a croak. “With me. Play a game with me.”

She gives me a half smile. “Sure. Will you teach me?”

Fuck yes, I’ll teach you.

“Of course,” I say, polite as fuck.

 

----

 

She nods softly. “I know you’re my boss, and I just don’t care

anymore.”

“Tell me what you want. Now.” Every nerve ending in my body

leaps to attention. I think it’s happening—she’s giving me the green

light.

I want Emma so fucking bad. I’ve wasted these last weeks of my

life. She’s been so close, but completely out of my reach.

But not anymore.

“C’mere, baby,” I say. “I won’t wait another second.”

----

There’s something so carnal about having a woman’s bare flesh

against a rough pair of jeans, denim the only barrier between her soft

skin and the huge bulge under my fly.

She’s already spread open for me.

“I want so much more of you. I want it all.” I slide my hand along

the side of her head, into her hair. She leans into my touch and closes her

eyes.

 

“You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my

life. I’ve wanted you from the second you showed up here.”

 

-----

That hot mouth of hers immediately surrenders to my

demands, to me. I got a brief taste of this weeks ago. Turning away

from it, giving it up—not taking what was mine—was one of the

hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life.

But I’m taking it now.

Emma is mine.

----

I grab her ass. A round handful of naked flesh. I slip my

finger through the thin strip of fabric holding the barely-there

panties in place.

Emma makes the sweetest little mewl under my mouth. I

kiss her harder, rougher. She takes it, gives it back.

I pull away and take her face in my hands. “Are you on the

pill?”

----

 

She’s breathing hard. Her shiny hair puddles to the floor behind

her. Her lips are parted and her eyes are dark, filled with questions and

desire.

I love the desire. But not the questions.

“Are you sure?”

She nods. Swallows hard. She brings her hand to the side of my

face, her touch light and caring.

“Emma, I don’t want to hurt you. Tell me if anything is too much. I

can be…a lot. But I have to have you.”

----

I have never been admired like this. No man has ever looked at me

the way Finn is now—dead serious, intense, hungry.

He wants me as much as I want him, and with the same

desperation.

I am sure of that now.

Finally. I get to know what it feels like to be claimed by Finn.

---

 

Sexy, dark stubble lines his jaw and upper lip, accenting the

wide, kissable mouth. All he wears is a pair of old jeans. He’s

barefoot, shirtless, and there’s no belt involved. I’m looking at the

most perfect male body I could imagine. The heat pours off his

skin.

He is sex. He raw, carnal power.

As he breathes, I see his lungs expand, his rippled abs

contract, the faint outline of his ribs. He’s a runner. A knife

fighter. A Navy SEAL and a man who’s known hard ranch work

all his life. There isn’t an ounce of fat on him anywhere.

Just huge muscles dusted in black hair. As classically

handsome as he is rugged. Bone and sinew and wild, loose black

curls.

----

I bring my hands to those dark curls. Then to his shoulders.

I let my touch slip down the rock-solid strength of his upper arms

and down his forearms. Then I move my touch to his stomach.

 

A jolt of electric longing goes through me. I slide my palms over

his abs, around his sides, and down onto his denim-covered ass. He’s

hard everywhere. A man who could take anyone, anywhere.

I want him to take me.

 

----

He lowers himself closer and slides one of his hands under my

head, where he cradles and lifts me to his mouth. I feel like I’m being

served up on a platter.

And I absolutely love it.

His hot mouth covers mine with a sense of finality. I feel it—this is

where everything changes. Where we come together because we both

want to, when we’re both ready to.

And holy shit, I’m ready. My legs are trembling. I feel how my

panties are soaked through.

----

“Holy fuck, Emma. You’re so…” His eyes scan my face as his

fingertips trace the top of my thighs. “Fuckable.”

 

----

“I’m gonna destroy these panties, so I apologize in

advance.”

“It’s okay. I have a feeling you’ll be destroying a lot more

than my panties.”

 

----

“I’m big. You’re small,” he says. “I don’t want to hurt

you.”

I shake my head. “I won’t let you hurt me, Finn. This is

only about pleasure. Always about pleasure, what I give to you and

what you give to me.”

 

-----

“I’m going to make you cum so hard,” I whisper, and then I

pull her thighs apart and dive in.

My head is wrapped in pale silk, my mouth and tongue

feasting on the slick cream of her, sucking and nibbling as she

mewls under my lips. She tastes like the sea and smells like sex. I

want to make her cum before I fuck her, because I know that

 

this first time is going to be heavy on the greed and light on the finesse.

-----

I clutch her hips. I push into her, up, up. She’s squeezing me so

tight I start to wonder if there’s such a thing as cutting off circulation

during sex.

At this point, I don’t even care. I’m too far gone. Too far up inside

her. If this is the last time I have blood flow to my dick, then so be it.

-----

“You’re fucking delicious, do you know that?” His hand spreads

flat against my sternum and slide up to my throat, where he holds me in

place. Nothing too rough. It’s his way of keeping me exactly where he

wants me, how he wants me.

He warned me. He told me he could be…a lot.

 

If I’d been drinking I’d think I’d had waaaaay to much. But

I haven’t had a drop. Nothing. The only intoxicating substance in

my bloodstream tonight is Finn MacLaine.

 

I don’t know how I’m going to walk tomorrow. Drive.

Think straight.

 

-----

 

“You’re so beautiful, Emma. Your beauty amazes me—I’ll

never get used to it.”

My eyes close. He uses his knees to gently spread my

thighs apart. I feel him at the entrance to my body, hot, so hard.

Again.

I know I’m ready. I’m always ready.

“You’re at your most beautiful when my dick’s inside you.”

----

“Look at me, baby.”

My eyelids are heavy, but I will them to open. I’m greeted with the

sight of all he is. My hotblooded lover. My Finn. With eyes too intense.

 

A mouth too demanding. Powerful body and brilliant mind. A heart

filled with goodness.

He’s too much man.

And everything I’ve ever dreamed of.

------

He presses his mouth to mine. It’s a simple and direct kiss, taking

me with his lips the way his cock takes my pussy. The same leisurely

rhythm. The same message.

I claim you.

You are mine.

-----

I thought I had memorized every plane and curve of Emma’s face,

but as I observe her, I’m in awe of how beautiful she is. Inside and out.

She is the most beautiful thing that has ever walked into my life.

 

About an hour away from Long Beach, Finn slows the boat

and joins me at the bow, wrapping his arms around my middle.

“Shouldn’t someone be steering?” I ask him.

 

He chuckles low and deep into my ear and I feel his arousal

pushing against me. “It’s called autopilot.”

I squirm against him. “Oh. Are you on autopilot, too?”
