Rowdy (Angel's Breath #2)
Sway Jones

Jesse Riley took in horses that were too aggressive, too afraid and too much to handle. He got them to trust humans again.
Lulu Smith wasn't her real name. She was running away from her past and had made it to Angel's Breath NC. It was at her new job as a librarian that she met Jesse. After inviting her to watch him work with his favorite horse, Rowdy, a black stallion, she begins to understand the gentleness of this man. Despite her fear of people and men in particular, she feels herself opening up to Jesse. Using some of the same techniques he employs with his abused horses, Jesse slowly turns Lulu's heart to his.
But Lulu's past is about to catch up with her. Can their relationship handle the hell about to descend?
