Ivy Langley is thirty, overworked, underpaid, and starting to wonder if the years she's poured into her corporate job were a complete waste. When she's forced to go on a team-building retreat at a remote Texas ranch with her toxic colleagues, she expects trust falls and false positivity.

What she gets is a six-foot-three masked cowboy who looks at her like he wants to own her.

Rhett Crowe is forty-five, broke, and two weeks away from losing his ranch. Turning Blackthorne Ranch into a Halloween haunt was supposed to be a desperate last bid to make some cash and stop the foreclosure. But he didn't count on a bunch of city folks mistaking his property for a survival retreat.

And he didn't plan on a sassy city girl who lets him take control and makes him want a future he stopped believing in years ago.

Then one of Ivy's colleagues snaps.

What begins as a paid scare experience turns into a real nightmare.

Trapped together on the ranch with a psycho killer, Ivy and Rhett have no choice but to trust each other.

Between the life-or-death stakes and the filthy attraction neither of them can resist, two people who never dreamed of forever start falling hard... for the fight, and for each other.
