Can the charms of the wild horse ranch bring these two skittish hearts together?The strong merciless fingers that wrapped around her throat and the alcohol-soaked threats whispered in her ear, sent all of Lacey Robertson’s alarms ringing. It was the slap in the face of reality that sent her life on a new path. Causing her to flee the busy life of a head-chef a busy upscale restaurant, trading it in for a peaceful job on a secluded ranch. But the tall, dark-haired cowboy that was her new boss, threatened to cause a whole new kind of turmoil in Lacey’s life. He didn’t need anything else. Grant had enough irons in the fire. With a ranch to run on his own, a kitchen that he barely managed not to burn down every day, and a bone-crushing grief that he somehow managed to keep at bay, the last thing he needed was another problem. And that is exactly what Lacey Robertson was going to be. The longing to lose himself in the comforts of the beautiful woman, made him want to abandon the rules of the ranch and throw caution to the wind.
