A jaded single dad. A woman returning to her small-town roots. Neither was prepared for their paths to collide…
I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover.
The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel – one who’d been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick.
Good thing I’ll never have to see him again.
Except when I show up for my new job to teach a little girl how to ride her horse, I find the same icy blue eyes glaring back at me.
Paisley Dae is completely reckless. She’s also the best trainer in this small town. And Evelyn gets the best.
Protecting the little girl is my one focus.
Only the sassy trainer in her cut-offs and cowgirl boots quickly gets under my skin. Distractions are dangerous, but she soon becomes everything I crave.
One reckless night of giving in, and Caleb and I spiral into a web of passion.
But when I begin to unravel the secrets hiding in this place, I find there is more riding on this job than I thought.
Caleb and Evelyn are worth any sacrifice – only Caleb has to decide what he will sacrifice for me…

“You and those pointy little sticks aren’t welcome here. You gettin’ that yet?”
He has no idea those “pointy sticks” are weapons—and she knows exactly how to use them.
When Abigail mysteriously inherits her dream cottage, she thinks her luck has finally turned. What she doesn’t expect is the brooding cowboy who apparently comes with the property—and his volcanic temper that could melt steel.
Fleeing a dangerous past, Abigail sees her unexpected inheritance as the perfect sanctuary. She’ll transform the ramshackle cottage into a cozy knitting haven where she can disappear into wool, needles, and the peaceful rhythm of creating something beautiful.
But Cade MacArthur owns every inch of land surrounding her new home, and this scorching-hot rancher considers the sharp-tongued city girl nothing more than a trespasser who’s invaded his territory.
What starts as a battle of wills ignites into something far more dangerous.
Every heated argument crackles with undeniable attraction. Every stolen glance threatens to combust. And when the deadly secrets Abigail thought she’d escaped come hunting for her, she’ll have to trust the one man who makes her burn—with her life, her future, and the heart she swore she’d never risk again.
Get ready for sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud banter, and a love story that will leave you breathless.
