Wrangled Hearts
Maggie Lane didn't plan to start over-especially not in a sleepy mountain town where the biggest excitement is the Friday night rodeo and gossip spreads faster than wildfire. But when her picture-perfect life in the city crumbled and her charming fiancé revealed a much darker side, Maggie packed her bags, changed her number, and ran. Now hiding behind a new last name and living in the guest house of a reclusive single dad, she's trying to rebuild her life in peace. Her new job as nanny to a spunky five-year-old girl seems like the fresh start she desperately needs-until quiet mornings and home-cooked dinners start to feel dangerously like home. And her brooding boss, Dawson Rhodes? He's the last man she should fall for. Stoic. Grumpy. Protective. And far too observant for Maggie's comfort. But Dawson has shadows of his own-raising his daughter alone after a devastating betrayal, he's sworn off relationships. Until Maggie crashes into his life with her stubborn streak, soft heart, and the kind of fire he thought he'd forgotten how to feel.

It's not just paranoia. Her ex is still out there. Watching. Waiting. Now, Maggie has to decide if she's ready to stop running-and whether this quiet little town and the cowboy who's captured her heart are worth fighting for.Complete
