Reckless in Roan Valley: A Small Town Grumpy Cowboy Sunshine Romance
Cassidy Vale
Wren Calloway arrives in Montana with forty boxes, a borrowed cottage, and one trust no one until they earn it. She's a large-animal veterinarian who lost a clinic, a fiancé, and two years of her life to someone she believed in completely. Roan Valley is supposed to be a clean slate.
Then she meets her landlord.
Colt Ryder hasn't let anyone close in three years. He has his ranch, his daughter, his grief — and walls so thorough that even the people who love him have stopped trying to find a door. He needs a vet for his animals. He does not need the woman in the cottage sixty yards from his kitchen window, filling his silences before he can stop her.
He definitely does not need her to make him laugh.
But a predatory land developer is quietly maneuvering to take the ranch, and Wren may be the only person in the valley who can help him fight back. Getting close enough to do that might cost him everything he's been protecting. Or it might be the reason he finally stops punishing himself for surviving.
