There are two things I know for certain: horses are better than people, and women are more trouble than they’re worth. Lady Aubrey parades around my stables like she owns the place, wiggling that fine ass in her tight jodhpurs. It’s not the first time a society girl has thrown herself at me to make Daddy angry, but this is the first one I’ve wanted to catch and toss down in the hay. Aubrey is a filly who refuses to be tamed, but I’m the man to break her in and make her mine—before my family’s past rears its ugly, traitorous head, and she’s snatched from me forever. Author’s note: Cassian Bellerose is a bad-tempered beast with his eye on a high-class filly. The Court of Paravel books continue chronologically. It’s recommended that they’re read in order.
