Synopsis:
An enriching story of family ties, broken hearts, and second chances from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.
When Ethan Bishop returns to the Hudson Valley, his body and spirit are a little worse for wear. As a former Special Forces paratrooper, he saw his fair share of conflict, and he came home with wounds, inside and out. At his sisters’ B & B and farm, he can keep all his pain at a safe distance. But quiet time isn’t easy when a fiery woman explodes into his life…
It’s business—not pleasure—that brings Manhattan PR agent Mia Thrush reluctantly to the farm. Tightly wound and quick tempered, Mia clashes immediately with the brooding Ethan. Everything about him is irritating—from his lean muscles and piercing blue eyes to his scent of sweat and musk.
But as the summer unfolds and temperatures rise, Ethan and Mia discover how much they have in common: their guarded histories, an uncontrollable desire, and a passion for the future that could heal two broken hearts. But will their pasts threaten their fragile chance at a brand-new future?

“What are you doing here?”
She steeled her
shoulders, emphasizing the thrust of her pert breasts, and her tiny waist. Then
had the gall to give him the stink eye. “I’m here for an apology.”
A bark of laughter
escaped his lips. Damn, she had spunk. “Let me get this straight. You come
into my barn without permission, let a horse out of its stall, watch her
disappear, and you want an apology from me?”
“Yes.”
“Princess, I have plenty of things to
say to you but none of them includes an apology.”
“I brought you lunch as a peace
offering. I was trying to meet you halfway since we’re neighbors. I was trying to be nice!”
“I never got to eat my lunch because it
took me hours to find Clarabelle. I had to scour those damn woods and waste my
entire afternoon because you dropped a carrot. Thank God she wasn’t hurt and I was able to get her back
safely.”
This was the second
time she began nibbling her lip—a definite tell when she felt guilty
about something. “I tried to explain and apologize but
you got all boorish and started yelling to get out of your barn.”
“I never yell. I told you very quietly
to leave the barn.”
“In a threatening tone.”
He shook his head. “I
bet you’re
an excellent PR person.”
She looked
surprised at the change of subject. “Thank you, I feel like I am. I do work
hard.”
“You’re very good at twisting everything
around like a pretzel. Bending the truth to suit your needs. No wonder Lake
hired you.”
Those Bambi eyes
simmered with temper. “You think you’re hot shit with your beard and your
sexy body and your fake cowboy drawl but you’re just mean! You pretend to be this
broody loner type because you had an accident and your leg got hurt. Big
frikkin’ deal. That doesn’t give you a right to be cranky to
everyone you meet.”
His mouth
practically dropped open. “What
do you know about my leg?”
he asked in a warning voice.
She wasn’t intimidated at all. In fact, she had
the nerve to toss her mane of honey hair and come closer. “Car
accident, right? I spoke to someone in town. Seems the consensus is you got
hurt, left your previous job, and came home. You proceeded to lock yourself in
some sad little bungalow and refuse to come out. How am I doing so far?”
His head spun. Red
mist shrouded his vision. Oh, she needed to learn some manners, and he was just
the type to teach her. “You know nothing about what happened
to me,” he said softly. “Your
entire career revolves around manipulating the truth. Let me ask you this,
princess. Have you ever gotten real before? Do you even know what it is?”
She bared her teeth
and gave a throaty growl. The sound was almost sexual, and registered below his
waist. Thank fuck he was too pissed off to care. “I
can get real, any time, any place, horse man. I’m not afraid to answer any question
with the truth, and your cheap shots about my career are just that. Cheap. You
know nothing about the people I try to protect or what I stand for.”
“Any question?”
They were close
now. The scent of her perfume surrounded him—some
type of exotic orange spice. Her lashes were thick and dark. Her lips were
pursed with a furious focus, painted the color of pale apple cider. She had a
dab of white sunscreen on her nose she’d
forgotten to rub in and some type of shimmery gold shadow under her arched
brows. She was infuriating and silly and for one horrifying, brief moment,
Ethan wanted to kiss her.
“Yes, any question,” she snarled back.
Too bad the woman
would break under one good, passionate kiss, or he’d be tempted to play a mean game of
chicken to see who would retreat first.
Too bad she was
already sleeping with Lake.
Instead, he leaned
in and gave a slow, mocking smile. “You really think I’m sexy, huh?”
She jerked back,
eyes wide with horror. “You are pure evil,” she whispered.
Ethan chuckled. “Your
secret is safe with me, princess. Anytime you wanna get real, give me a ring.”
A shriek emitted
from her lips. She stomped around him in those towering heels. “I
will never, ever bring you lunch again!”
