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.

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.

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…
EXCERPT
Too bad I felt like I’d been completely complicated by him. Spun up in a way I wasn’t sure I’d ever before been.
“Time to head back.” I shifted course to head in the direction of the barn.
My stomach sank at the thought of leaving soon. He was probably climbing into his Range Rover at this very moment and starting the hour drive it would take him to get the rest of the way home.
Nerves scattered, pinpricks against my heated flesh.
I was both excited to see him and dreading it at the same time.
I needed to boot the reaction. I couldn’t go around feeling like this.
He’d already made it clear he didn’t have time to strike up something with me, and I didn’t even want that, did I?
