Deacon (The Sovereign Mountain Series Book 3) Kindle Edition


Deacon is the third interconnected standalone dark cowboy romance in The Sovereign Mountain Series by Amazon top 30 and international bestselling author, Raya Morris Edwards.

All Roads Lead to Sovereign Mountain

Freya Hatfield knows one thing for certain—to never, ever get tangled up with a man like Deacon Ryder.

Growing up surrounded by her harsh stepfather, Aiden Hatfield, and his sons, she vowed to not to repeat the same cycle as her mother.

But after leaving her home in the Appalachian Mountains to move to rural Montana, six months later she finds herself the obsession of their neighbor—a much older, rough, tattooed rancher with a dark past and a willingness to do what it takes to get what he wants.

He’s everything she swore she’d never accept.

But all it takes is one fateful meeting on a stormy night, and she can’t stop coming back to him.

When circumstances pit Aiden and Deacon against each other, Freya quickly becomes a bargaining chip in a harsh dispute.

And as Freya gives into Deacon’s obsession, they both find something so much darker than they expected.

And something sweet enough to fight for.
