With her life at risk, Sarah Cooper must hang up her ballet shoes and assume a new identity on a horse ranch in rural Maryland.

Mucking stalls is a far cry from center stage, and the ranch’s so-called “horse whisperer” is the complete opposite of the men she’s used to. He’s stubborn, sullen, and sexy.

Unfortunately, he's also suspicious…of her.

Bruce Murphy trusts his horses, and since the new ranch hand showed up, they’ve been skittish. Sarah's trouble, and Bruce wants her gone before he loses anyone else he cares about.

She challenges him until he can’t decide if he should kiss or shake her.

But the more time they spend together, the more he sees the truth: Sarah isn’t trouble, she’s in trouble.

Bruce protects his heart as tightly as Sarah guards her secrets, but they each have something the other needs—will they learn to trust before time runs out?
