Rebel : a legend novel / by Lu, Marie,1984-;
Eden Wing is a brilliant student. He's about to graduate a year early from Ross University of the Sciences, with honors, and already has an internship lined up back in the Republic. But most people don't introduce Eden this way. Instead, they say, 'This is Eden, Daniel Wing's younger brother.' Ten years ago, Eden's brother Daniel was known as Day, the boy from the streets who led a revolution that saved the Republic of America. He went from being a hunted criminal to a national hero in less than a year. Day has spent the past decade piecing together his memory of his time in the Republic, pretending to enjoy life in Antarctica's capital, Ross City, and quietly hiding out from the world, even if it's meant giving up June, the great love of his life. As long as he can keep his little brother safe, that's all that matters. But Eden isn't safe. As the two brothers struggle to accept who they've each become, they grow more distant from one another than they've ever been. LSC

The capable, all-business accountant is on a mission to get the ranch up and running, but can he convince the temptingly beautiful woman to take a chance on him?

But working with the long, lean cowboy shows her that Austin is honorable to his core. Together they slowly grow to see what the love between them might bring. But then Austin's powder keg of a family feud explodes, exposing long-buried secrets, and threatening their new-found love."--
