Romance Suspense | Romance Western

WILDE FOR YOU is the second book in Jennifer Ryan's DARK HORSE DIVE BAR series. Famous and wealthy landscape artist Layla Brock rents a cabin on Wilde Wind Ranch for an extended stay as she works on a commission of paintings for a wealthy client. The beautiful landscape is a welcome respite. She cleaned out and left her home in California to escape the presence of her recently deceased husband and her brother-in-law who contested the will and is now relentless in his demands for money. As her agent introduces her to ranch owner Jax Wilde, Layla feels the first stirs of desire since her husband's betrayal and death. Jax is running the ranch and the Dark Horse Bar with no time for a fling with a guest especially following his betrayal from his most recent ex-girlfriend. Fate has other plans for this unlikely couple as the attraction becomes instant love. Then strange things start to occur to Layla including threats, slashed tires and stolen property. The plot takes an inordinately long time to reveal the nasty details of the past relationships of the main characters. But, if you like your stories where the characters jump right into deep feelings with no mid-book breakup and a little bit of suspense, then this is a book for you. Lots of content with Lyric and Mason from the first book, WILDE LOVE, including their wedding. Can be read as a stand-alone but even better if you read the series in order. Wonder which sibling is next?

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Ryan’s page-turning Dark Horse Dive Bar series continues with this story of love lost...and found…as a widow seeking to heal her heart crosses paths with a rancher/bartender who offers her a taste of adventure. 

Welcome to the Dark Horse Dive Bar, where the Wildes throw one hell of a party and love could be a barstool away!

Landscape artist, Layla Brock, knows what it feels like to love someone so completely you’d do anything for them—even take their secrets to the grave. Widowed after her husband’s betrayals and tragic death, Layla is searching for a new scene to paint, a new life to live. And Wyoming feels like the perfect place to get lost and find herself again.

Jax Wilde runs the family ranch, but has a few side hustles: wrangling his sisters, covering shifts at the Dark Horse Dive Bar, and renting out cabins to tourists looking for the ranch experience. His busy schedule, plus a bad breakup, equals no personal life. And then she showed up. And the woman he thought he had nothing in common with turned out to be his perfect match.

Layla knows what it feels like to lose everything. Jax is a man who wants it all—a wife, children, a life filled with happy memories. It’s a beautiful picture of a life Layla thought she’d had but turned out to be a lie. This could be her second chance…

Until her secrets begin to unravel and a new threat is revealed. There’s one difference this time: she has Jax Wilde on her side…
