One cabin. Two renters. No options. What happens when a charismatic hero is forced to share a cabin with a strong heroine and her irresistible labradoodle? Sizzling chemistry! Cowboy and conservationist Carson Granger returns to Three River Ranch, determined to transform his embattled family home into a mustang sanctuary. But his late father, controlling even from the grave, had different ideas, and left an iron-clad will to enforce them. Aurora McAllister’s empathic ability and her therapy dog work wonders with troubled children. But when Rory’s personal life falls apart, she takes her broken heart and flees. Three River Ranch is the perfect place to rest, heal and start over. Unfortunately, no one told her about the estranged son, or the grim Granger history. The man’s energy is raw and full of pain, but beneath that there’s a kindness that attracts her. Carson wants Rory gone. Her relentless optimism and her mop of a dog are messing up all his plans. Then he sees her with the wild mustang mare he’s rehabilitating. The woman has skills. Maybe Rory is the key he didn’t realize he was looking for. But Rory also has secrets and when it comes to women, the Granger men are cursed. His dreams for her future? Even he’s not that cold. Then Rory makes him an offer he can’t refuse… USA Today  bestselling author Roxanne Snopek  writes award-winning contemporary women's fiction and romance with an anti-patriarchal flair. Her characters have the same concerns we do about women's rights, gender politics, tolerance and equality—but they get to fight their battles and win! Roxanne forces her characters (and occasionally herself) out of their comfort zones to do the right things, and they (and occasionally she) become better people for it. Roxanne writes, rages and ruminates from her lakeside home in southern British Columbia, where she lives with her partner of 37 years, one bossy miniature poodle and one appropriately subservient standard poodle. She also bakes bread, battles weeds, and co-hosts the popular podcast Happy Hour with Ruth and Roxy , where she and her pal Ruth (surprise!) discuss how to get more happiness with less bull... you know. Her list of favourite authors is ever changing and includes Barbara Kingsolver, Barbara O'Neal, Stephen King, Robyn Carr, Loreth Anne White, Elizabeth Berg, Terry Pratchett, Ann Patchett, Lucy Maude Montgomery and on and on.
