About this ebook

One man craves family, the other isolation; neither of them was searching for love.

Experienced and much-in-demand horse trainer Levi doesn't need or want people. With his horse and dog at his side, he lives out of his trailer and trains horses in the summer to earn just enough to head south for winter. Infrequent hook-ups with no-tell cowboys takes care of sex, but the moment any connection gets anywhere near complicated, he moves on. Losing a lover to violence has taught him that if he's alone he can't get hurt, and in return, he avoids the pain of loss. Everything in his easy-going life is on track until he knocks over Quinn, a pink-haired stranger who pirouettes in front of his truck, sits in his lap and calls him cowboy with the sexiest voice he's ever heard. Anger turns to frustration, lust turns to love, and by the end of the summer, Levi doesn't know which way to turn.

Quinn loses everything when the cops find his brother's body on the remains of a compound that belonged to a cult. Damaged and vulnerable, Max had been the only safe place for Quinn in his otherwise cold family, but finding out that Max might have had a son sends Quinn to Wyoming and the Lennox Ranch. When he's knocked to the ground on day one at the ranch, he wonders if maybe he should have thought things through better. After all, he'd bought two horses and a house to get close enough to Lennox ranch just to see if he was an uncle. He craves love, connection and is excited to be part of a family, searching for a place where he can finally stop running. He never meant to fall for the closed-off cowboy, but somehow Levi steals his heart and Quinn falls in love.

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars This is the second book in the series. I really enjoyed this one. Quinn pulled on my heartstrings. He deserves to connect with his nephew and find some happiness. You can feel the grief rolling off of him and wanting to find the place he can call home. I love he accepts himself and his comfortable to be him. Levi is one grumpy guy with the needs for no attachments so he has a wandering soul. You can deep down he craves some roots and with a business proposition from an unlikely source. He finds him on a path to a future he never could have predicted. I loved the changes in Levi as he opens himself up to the possibilities. This was a great book small town book. It's one that captures the heart with great characters and their unexpected journeys. This one left me with a huge smile on my face.
