They sent the best rope on the frontier to break the wild stallion-king. They never knew he could speak - or that he'd been waiting for her.
Della Voss has broken horses since she was a girl, and she has never thrown a loop she couldn't land. When the Company sends her after the leader of the last free centaur herd, she gets her rope on him clean - and the thing she's caught turns at the end of the line and says her own name back to her.
Everything she believed about her trade comes apart on the open plain. The centaurs are not stock. They are a people, hunted and broken to harness, and the king the Company wants in chains has decided that the woman who came to break him is the one he means to keep.
When the whole outfit rides up the range to take the herd, she has to choose which end of the rope she's standing on.
He gave her the open ground and let her run. Now he waits to see if she comes back.
A dark, possessive monster romance with a primal hero and a guaranteed HEA.
