"The Ranch King's Forbidden Sweetheart" Vertical Short (Paid)

THE RANCH KING'S FORBIDDEN SWEETHEART Vertical Short Form Non-union Storyline: When twenty-year-old Blake Esthela arrives at Cole Ranch after her brother Tristan is imprisoned and her world collapses, she steps into the arms of the one man she has loved since childhood—Jaxson Cole, her late father's best friend and now her legal guardian. Jaxson is a legend: the iron-willed "Ranch King" who controls half the western territories, a widower haunted by guilt, and a man who has buried every feeling that doesn't serve his empire. As Blake wages a quiet war to make him see her as a woman rather than a child he promised to protect, she secretly moonlights as "Flame," the masked pole dancer of the Wild Saloon, gathering evidence to expose the Matchstick Gang—the criminal syndicate she believes murdered her father. When Jaxson begins falling for the seductive stranger behind the mask, not knowing she is the very girl sleeping under his roof, the deception spirals into danger, desire, and a deadly reckoning. Hunted by assassins, torn apart by family loyalty, and forced to fight for love against every social expectation, Blake and Jaxson must finally choose between duty and truth—before the enemies surrounding them leave no choice at all.
