When my brother tells me that Nathan Booth is coming to Star Mountain Horse Rescue to do community service for throwing punches in a bar fight, I immediately see red. Nathan causes trouble and breaks hearts wherever he goes, and he’s the last man I want around my barn. He’s also got the face of an angel and the swagger that says he knows it. He thinks I’m a hissing viper with a savior complex, so at least he hates me as much as I hate him. But ever since my grandparents passed away two years ago, the rescue has been scraping by, and I can’t turn down the deal Nathan offers me: I’ll teach him everything I know about training rescued horses and he’ll help me fundraise for the barn on social media. But as our lessons heat up, and I watch him work with our horses with gentleness and skill, I start to wonder if there’s more to this playboy than meets the eye…. I’m determined to keep things casual. Nathan’s time at Star Mountain has an expiration date, and I’ve lost too many people already. But then my brother’s best friend goes from hating me, to falling for me. less

Jonah Smith is the tattooed, taciturn farrier at the barn, and he’s disliked me and my sunshine smiles from the moment we met. But he needs money to pay his mom’s medical debt, and it doesn’t take much to get him to agree to a hasty marriage of convenience. Our marriage isn’t supposed to be real. Jonah is a cynical grump and I want freedom, not another set of shackles. But underneath his tough exterior, Jonah is kind and caring. He vows to protect me from my family. He holds me when I cry and takes care of me when I’m sick. He calls me his wife and gives me a ring. We married for money. But before I know it, I’m falling for my husband. less
