Jasper

Twelve years gone. She shows up like she never left.

Sloane Calloway broke my heart. I buried the remains when I became a widowed single dad.

My billion-dollar ranch needs her. Every other part of me says run.

But my horses are sick, my ranch is bleeding, and she's the only vet who can tell me why.

We fight over everything.

But unfinished business doesn't stay buried. Not with her.

We find better uses for our mouths.

Dark stalls at midnight. Up against the saddle rack. Bent over the desk.

Then my son says her name like she already belongs here.

She makes me want a life I stopped believing in.

She came back fleeing a dangerous ex, a lawsuit, a target that's been bleeding onto my land and my horses.

And if I can't stop what's coming, I lose the ranch and the family I didn't know I was building.

To make matters worse, I find out she's carrying my child.
