He’s not sure he’s ever been real. She’s not sure she’ll ever be whole again. Beckett Davis has been many things: reliable, likeable, on track to be the most accurate kicker in professional football history, and multiple\-time winner of made up awards like pro\-athlete with the most beautiful smile. He’s also spent a lifetime shouldering responsibilities that didn’t belong to him, but he doesn’t like to think about that. Until a missed kick makes him one of the most hated people in the city and lands him doing damage control as a volunteer in his least favourite place: a hospital. But it’s where he meets her. Greer Roberts deals in logic and absolutes. She spends her days performing surgery and staying behind carefully constructed boundaries that keep what’s left of her safe, even though she’s not sure how either of those things make her feel anymore. There is one thing she’s absolutely certain of, though: she doesn’t date. So it doesn’t matter that a downtrodden Beckett Davis ends up in the same elevator as her and in a moment of weakness, she invites him to volunteer with her patients. She might see right through him, and he might understand her in a way that no one else ever has, but they’re just business acquaintances. Until they’re not. And nothing scares her more than that.

In this steamy cowboy romance, a woman returns to her family's ranch after a broken engagement and finds herself falling for her brother's best friend—the first novel in the Silver Pines Ranch series. Take a deep breath and let go of the reins. Cecilia “CeCe” Ashby is finally escaping the toxic relationship that has consumed her entire adult life. She's returning to her hometown of Laurel Creek, Kentucky, and to her family’s equestrian ranch, unsure of what the future holds. Nash Carter, the newly retired superstar of the Dallas Stars, is Laurel Creek's hometown hero, local business owner, and notorious bachelor. He’s also the unofficial fourth sibling in the Ashby clan. It’s been years since his days of tormenting CeCe with her older brothers Wade and Cole. So, when CeCe needs a job, he feels drawn to help her. Nash can’t seem to take his eyes off of his best friend's sister, and it seems she’s been staring right back, not without animosity left over from his childish teasing back in the day. Despite their initial reluctance, the fire between them ignites and it isn't long before they jump into the flames.
