Marcado a fuego (El rancho Wells, 1)

A life in the countryside wasn't part of Cecily Kennedy's plans, but when her unhappy marriage takes a violent turn, a friend offers her a job and refuge at the Wells Ranch. Daily life there is hard enough, even without her new boss, Austin Wells, sending her mixed signals. Nevertheless, Cecily knows she has nowhere else to go, and getting involved with a quiet rancher is only going to bring her trouble. He, for his part, has learned the hard way that no one stays, but he soon realizes that, between walks and late-night talks, Cecily has left a lasting mark on his heart. And, although Austin desperately wants her to stay, he will never allow anything or anyone to hurt her.
