Genre  Romantic Comedy

Publisher The Wild Rose Press

 

Book Blurb 

 

When stable owner Cheyenne Modine meets vet Jack Carter, it’s hate at first sight. He may look like the sexiest man alive but his arrogance tells her he’s a privileged member of the elite Lexington, Kentucky, Thoroughbred world. Cheyenne Modine is exactly Jack’s type—a smoking hot woman who loves horses—but her slurred speech calls up childhood memories of living with an alcoholic father, and Jack isn’t about to travel that road again. After several chance encounters, the fireworks between them become a contest to see who touches who first. Can Jack and Cheyenne overcome their mistaken first impressions or will their gallop to the finish line end in murder by horseshoe?

He dropped his head and closed his eyes when she stomped off. She was halfway out the door when she flew back to grab her boots.

 

“Stop,” he ordered, unsurprised when she didn’t. She smacked the door frame with her exit. He followed her out. They weren’t finished, not by a long shot.
