"Run!" Julia exclaimed before grabbing a hold of her bag and bolting away as soon as we heard the sound of sirens approaching us. I ran behind them before my foot got caught in a branch and I tripped, leading them to catch me. Not my best friend and my boyfriend, no. Those two ditched me. Letting the police only catch me. ***** Seventeen-year-old Sophie Reynolds thought she had her life all figured out, until a reckless decision gets her exiled to her grandfather's ranch for the summer. Trading in her designer wardrobe for muddy boots was never part of her plan, especially at a place like Equestrian Creek, where the horses outnumber the people and the only excitement comes from chores. Enter Liam Parker, the easygoing stable boy with a wicked sense of humor, a captivating British accent, and a look that could stop hearts. He's everything Sophie can't stand: carefree, unpretentious, and entirely unimpressed by her attitude. And the feeling? Mutual. Forced to work side by side, their constant bickering sparks something unexpected, a slow-burning connection that's impossible to ignore. With every stolen glance and late-night conversation, Sophie realises that maybe, just maybe, her perfect world wasn't so perfect after all. One summer. One chance to rewrite her story. And one boy who just might change everything.

"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.

After that, I vowed to friends and family that I'd never fall in love again and would only focus on raising my autistic son and working on my farm and horse ranch. That was until a beautiful blonde-haired, green-eyed beauty moved to my town--changing my life forever. Being stubborn, I did everything I could not to let my ticker control me and my thinking process--avoiding eye contact with Josie, conversations, and what my ticker, mind, and soul was telling me... But then I saw Josie daily at the diner she worked at and became jealous whenever Jack, the town's annoying wanna-be cowboy, tried striking a relationship up with her. I always felt my wife, Hailey, would return to Maverick and me, and we'd be a family again. But the more time I focused on the new girl in town, the more I wanted Hailey out of my life, and the more I wanted Josie in mine. Then, one night, my life forever changed when I allowed a door to open and gave Josie something I said I'd never give--my ticker. Credit for cover: selfpubbookcovers.com/AKcoverdesign
