Equine rehabilitation therapist Sasha Whiskey has everything she wants on her family's Redemption Ranch: work she is passionate about, a loving, loyal family, and the constant, complicated presence of Ezra Moore. Years ago Ezra was a belligerent teen who once tried to win her over; now he is a respected single-father therapist who keeps a careful, professional distance, and the man against whom Sasha secretly measures every other. She is done comparing and ready for the real thing, but going after Ezra means risking the careers, reputations, and hard-won stability they have both built, especially since dating co-workers is off-limits at the ranch. Ezra guards his heart and his daughter fiercely, wary of jeopardizing a job and a life that finally feel steady. As long-buried attraction refuses to stay hidden, the two must weigh a lifetime of restraint against the pull they can no longer deny. Warm, emotional, and steamy, this is a slow-simmering workplace romance about second impressions, family loyalty, and the courage it takes to reach for the person who has been in front of you all along.
