A cowgirl too fierce for love. A ranger too loyal to leave. A chase that changes everything.No man wants to marry a girl who can rope and ride better than he can. Josephine McGraw has always known she’s too much for any man to love. Too outspoken. Too independent. Too stubborn. She’s happy with her place in the family, partnering with her pa in a new venture with their fine stock horses. But when her horses are stolen and she’s forced to partner up with a handsome Texas Ranger, all the girlish dreams Jo thought she’d given up spark to life. Luke Wallace wants to settle the debt he owes Jo from a life-altering mistake he made back when he was a green deputy. He’ll do it the only way he knows how–protecting her while taking down the horse thieves she’s determined to chase after. But the more time in the saddle they spend together, the more Luke realizes Jo’s prickly exterior hides a tender heart… a heart he can’t help being captivated by.
