About this ebook

He’s the last cowboy she wants to ask for help. He’s the only one offering a chance…

Never in her wildest dreams did equine specialist Maclyn Kane imagine she’d beg her ex for help five years after he tanked her shot at her dream job. But once again she’s out of work with two horses and a dog to feed, and the independent cowgirl can’t pass up any offers—even humiliating and grudging ones.

Rancher Trev Matthews is desperate to find someone to help him through calving season, so when Maclyn, the woman who wrecked his truck and lied about it at the end of their rodeo careers responds to his job posting, he reluctantly hires her—temporarily. As soon as he finds someone with experience, she’s out. Or so he thinks.

Time supposedly heals all wounds. It also can provide clarity and proof he was too quick to judge. But how can the former rodeo star convince the woman who refuses to depend on anyone except herself to trust him and that temporary can become permanent?

Ratings and reviews

When Maclyn Kane loses her job and finds herself desperate for work, she is referred to Tree Fork Ranch. She soon learns she will be working for one of her former friend’s ex, Trev Matthews. They start off a bit stand-offish because of something that happened in the past, but when the truth finally comes out, their boss/employee relationship starts to grow into much more. I thoroughly enjoyed this book with its entertaining plot, interesting characters and great ranch life scenes.
