Dakota Johnson has a bit of a chip on her shoulder. Her true calling is working with horses but not in a way an old school veterinarian might hold in high regard. She’s often accused of not being a “real” vet. Brady Shipley owns Hickory Hollow Ranch with his brother. They’d worked hard, made good decisions, and it had all paid off. In a huge way. Even though he had several irons in the fire, his first love was horses and taking care of them. Though they don’t share many of the same professional opinions, that’s just the first reason these two can’t get along. She’s shy and he’s loud. He has a reputation and she won’t be anyone’s conquest. Their first meeting brings their differences to light. Brady wins the first round, but his happiness won’t last long. When a lightning strike sets the horse barn on fire, Brady makes sure every horse makes it out alive and well. As the storm rages on, he’s exhausted and injured. Dakota knows he needs someone to help him and she’s the only option at the moment. But if the bridge wasn’t washed out she'd probably leave him on his own. Forced to spend time together, Brady’s brashness softens and so does Dakota’s heart. Feelings developed in isolation can’t be true, can they? Is it possible to fall in love with someone who seemed like an enemy?
