Aren Jacobs trusts no one. Reeling from a devastating altercation with her foster family that left her scarred inside and out, she’s suddenly unemployed and all too happy to isolate herself from the world. But when a severe storm threatens her small community, Aren goes out to help and ends up saving Carol Matthews’s life.
Carol doesn’t know who to turn to after the storm leaves her homeless and grief stricken. Taking refuge with the woman who saved her is only one of her bad options, but there’s something about Aren that makes her feel safe despite all the rumors flying around town about what really happened the night Aren returned to visit her foster family.
The last thing Aren expects is to fall for Carol. Sharing her home is one thing, but sharing her heart means sharing the demons in her past and risking everything to keep Carol safe.

I LOVED this book! I am a sucker for cowgirls anyway and this tale was so good! It was really well written with no flaws, a bonus every time. The story was captivating, sweet and interesting. I fell a bit in love with Aren and was totally emotionally invested with this drama. The settings are excellently portrayed and I felt like I was actually there. I could hear the animals, feel the sun on my face, and smell the sweet hay… what a delight! The novel is packed full of all sorts of feels, happy, sad, anger, hope, love, peace and more. I found myself smiling a big, silly grin at times and at other times my eyes were so full of tears I couldn’t see to continue. I read this book three days ago and I am still thinking about it. As soon as I finish the book Im reading now, I will be rereading this fantastic book again!
