Wild Dragon Daddy by Kendal Davis

You can try to hide in the open range…
But a dragon will always find you.

Tessa Jones had been through hell and back, spending years looking over her shoulder for the creep she’d once called her husband. Her ex was in prison, but she still had Peyton, her precious four-year-old daughter. Tessa might not be able to give the bright-eyed child the perfect home just yet, but she vowed she would one day.
Bud Landry hated all things delicate, preferring his ranch, a good drink, and the mountain crags. The dragon in him still roared with fury at the chaos that he had left behind years ago when he rejected his Special Forces past and retreated to the Wyoming wilderness. Reveling in the crisp air and patrolling his fences were all that mattered to him now.
Until Bud understood that the woman who came to work on his property for the night was everything he needed. All at once, her clear blue eyes and luscious curves were all he could think about. He wanted to hold her close and shield her from the worries that lurked in her memories.
And if those worries came closer? Bud had no problem taking on the danger that menaced Tessa. His inner dragon roared with certainty. Tessa was his true mate. He would protect her and her daughter forever.
For all time.
