The Horseman

Troy Rattigan devotes most of his time and energy to horses— rescuing them, training them, understanding them. Some might say he has a spiritual connection to the equine species. ….. Because of his brutal schedule and an escalating series of attacks on his family, his own connections haven't gone beyond meaningless hookups… However, there's something about the fractious, blood-bay horse in his current workshop that raises all kinds of red flags. And something about the unassuming beauty on the other end of Rudy's lead rope that ignites his instinct to fix what's broken—in both woman and horse.

Single mom Sara Karol is barely back on her feet after almost losing her life and her leg to a rattlesnake bite. One wrong step could cripple her for life. The worst step she could make? Accepting the too-rich, too-handsome, too-sweet-talking trainer's offer to teach her horse-crazy young son to work with her best friend's problem horse….Having seen the worst of life, Samantha is too old and too jaded for her years. Yet, she can't resist giving her son his wildest dream. But is the deep, instant fit she feels with Troy simply a mutual understanding of loss and grief? Or is it a solid foundation upon which to build a lifetime of happiness? Is becoming connected to the wealthy and dynamic Lockhart family another risk to her own life as well as her young son's?
