Furious the interloper has shipped in a ringer from the Chicago circuit to his Wyoming turf, Rancher/trainer Clint Travers sets out to put her in her place. Sparks fly immediately, but after their rocky start, the two quickly forge a passionate relationship, and he follows her to Chicago.

Can love trump pride?
Excerpt:
Shaking her head, Cassie grabbed a hoof pick from her back pocket, lifted one of Hope's front hooves, and began extracting dirt and pebbles.
"Nice lookin' filly."
Cassie groaned at the strange deep voice and the too-familiar line. Couldn't men anywhere be a little more original?
Dropping the hoof, Cassie glanced across Hope's back and gasped. The deeply tanned hunk behind the voice had shoulders that stretched taut a pale yellow polo shirt covered, in part, with a thin buckskin vest. The wide cowboy buckle appeared unnecessary to hold up well contoured Levi's. A sweat-stained brown Stetson, tipped low, cast a light shadow across his facial features. His worn boots were those of a working man. This was no drugstore cowboy.
He stepped closer. She could make out a scowl. Dark eyes snapped a foreboding anger. Raven black hair framed chiseled features, searing them into Cassie's brain. Her toes curled involuntarily. She rubbed Hope's coat vigorously. Who the hell was he? And to top it off, he didn't even seem to notice her. His eyes appraised only the horse.
"Thanks," she mumbled, ducking down by Hope's flank.
The handsome stranger walked around the horse. "Very nice," he drawled at last.
