Masters' Mistress

The Angel Eyes Series Book 1

A Slow-Burn Dystopian Romance of Love, Defiance, and Rebellion

A defiant cowboy fighting to remain his own man.
A woman who became his owner to save him.
A love their world will never allow.

Captured, sold, and forced to serve, Bret Masters refuses to bow to anyone. Pride, anger, and defiance are the only shields he has left, and he is determined they will remain unbroken—even against Angel Aldridge, the woman he never expected to want. But as Angel challenges everything he believes about the women of this new world, resisting his attraction to her becomes harder—and so does dismissing the dangerous hope that she may be someone he can trust.

Angel Aldridge hides her pain behind fences as sturdy and vast as her ranch. She never intended to become Bret Masters’ owner, yet beneath his bitterness, she recognizes someone who is not entirely a stranger to her. Through years of stories, she came to know his loyalty, courage, and kindness—and allowed herself to dream about a man she never believed she would meet. But every clash between them makes it harder to keep that safe, distant fantasy separate from the real man now breaching the walls around her heart.

As suspicion gives way to trust, the attraction between Bret and Angel becomes impossible to deny. But in a world where love between them is outlawed, every step closer places them both at risk. Giving in could awaken Bret’s hope for a life built on trust—and leave Angel vulnerable to the one man who might see beyond the woman she allows the world to know.
