Her Beasts of Burden — Dixie Lynn Dwyer

Sam is fighting for a better life and a new start. Her beast of burden stands in her way, but she will do what is necessary to finally be happy once and for all. She doesn't count on falling in love with Reeves, Tiny, Big John, and Flint, and certainly doesn't count on her sister's betrayal nearly costing her everything. Soon she realizes that love, support, and being a family isn't a one way street, and those she thought were just friends turn out to be better then her own family, more trustworthy and loving. As she begins her new life, happiness is in her grasp. Her defenses are down, the walls too, and that's when her enemies strike, leaving her once again a victim of their jealousy and control.
