Cedar Grove is home to two of the largest ranches in North Colorado - Sweet Orchard and Oak Ridge - and they happen to be neighbours.
Kate Callahan was born at Oak Ridge, but she spent the majority of her childhood with the Harrison siblings at Sweet Orchard. Until she left at 18 to go study in the city and never left.
But when her absent father has a minor heart attack, Kate is forced home to care for him, where she shares a hot, steamy encounter with the new man in town behind the local bar, Luke Ashford.
Kate is determined to forget him, until he shows up at Sweet Orchard Ranch and they're forced to work together to save her father's ranch so she can return to the city.
But the sparks flying between them are undeniable, and Kate must choose between the life she left behind and the one she made for herself in the city.

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back.

After too many broken promises and one too many high heels in the dirt, he's earned his reputation as the rodeo circuit's most irresistible player-and its most guarded heart. Then comes Callie Monroe, a top-ranked barrel racer with a sleek look and a city-girl reputation that rubs Hudson the wrong way from the start. She's too polished, too confident, and too good at pretending she doesn't care what people think.

Turns out, Callie isn't who he thought she was. Raised on a dusty ranch and shoved into city life by family pressure, she's spent years fighting to prove she belongs back in the saddle-and not in some glass tower.

But with both their careers on the line and past wounds refusing to heal, will love be enough to rope in a cowboy who's always ridden solo?Complete
