Justice Lonesome has enjoyed a life of bounty. Even so, she’s inherited the curse of the Lonesome. A poet’s soul. Which means she’s still searching for something. Searching for peace. Searching for the less…that’s more. And when the foundation of her life is pulled out from under her, grieving, she goes to the mountains to find her oasis. She hits Carnal, Colorado, and decides to stay.
Deke Hightower lost everything at the age of two. He lost it again at 15. His life has not been about bounty. It’s been about learning to live with less, because there’s no way to get more. Deke’s also watched all his friends go down to the women who gave them what they needed. He wants that for himself. But he knows that search isn’t going to be easy, because he’s a rider. His home is the road. That’s the only place he can breathe. And the woman who takes her place at his side has to do it sitting on the back of his bike.
When Deke meets Justice, he knows she’s not that woman. She’s cute. She’s sweet. And she’s into him, but she’s got it all, and Deke knows he won’t fit in to that. So he holds her at arm’s length. Establishes boundaries. And Justice will take it, because she wants Deke any way he’ll let her have him. But when Justice finds herself a pawn in a dangerous game, Deke makes a decision. When he does, he has no idea he’s just opened himself up to bounty.

Stunningly Beautiful Stunningly beautiful as always, but I do believe I’ve found my new favorite KA heroine. Justice is beyond perfection and possesses such a pure, honest soul. I loved the gradual progression of their relationship and how it was portrayed so naturally, but the climb to get there was a special kind of torture yet oh so delicious! The emotions she pulled from her characters were so raw that you couldn’t help but be pulled into the magic of it all. Bounty doesn’t top my favorites of…
