Isobel Wright didn’t come to Wears Valley looking for trouble. She came to help her best friend with a spooked mare and maybe breathe a little Tennessee air. She didn’t expect the horse whisperer — the one with rope burns on his hands, a slow-burn smile, and hazel eyes that made her knees forget their job.

Ryder Callahan looks like he was born in the saddle. And he was. What no one around here knows is that he also owns half of Manhattan.

He keeps those two worlds airtight. Always has.

But Isobel makes him want to stop.

One small town. Two people hiding more than they say. And a pull between them that’s harder to outrun than a two-thousand-pound bull.

Some secrets are worth keeping. Some are worth blowing wide open.
