Saddlehorn, MT
Ashton Anderson, former town sweetheart and prodigal son of rancher Clint Anderson, has finally returned home. Where has he been for the last ten years, you ask? Apparently, working a smaller rodeo circuit up north. With his strength and skill, he should have done well, but he has returned battered, bruised, and grieving the loss of his faithful gelding, Dusty. As for the girlfriend who turned down his marriage proposal all those years ago . . .
Kelsey Winters has left her less-than-idyllic past behind. She now helps others as a therapist at the therapeutic riding center outside of town, although her own personal life seems to be a solid mess. She’s tried to be a good older sister to her brother, Darren, but she can’t protect him—or herself—from his poor choices. They’re one bad decision away from homelessness when they’re robbed and Darren is put in jail for possession of a controlled substance.
Due to circumstances beyond their control, Kelsey and Ashton’s long-ago romance resurfaces. But will it leave the gate running, or suffer a colossal wreck?

Excerpt
“Thanks for listening.”
“Any time,” he replied, and meant it.
A smile flickered on her lips. “I’m glad you’re back.” She eased forward in the space between them and when her gaze traveled to his lips, a deep inferno exploded in his gut.
Ashton found himself tempted to draw her into his arms and give into that desire that spiked through him.The old feelings, the attraction between them, zinged like a mosquito on speed. Her breath warmed his cheek and set his nerves on fire. He held her gaze for what seemed an eternity. Instinctively, Kelsey brushed a strand of hair that wasn't there over her ear.
This was not a good idea. He leaned away from her, creating distance.
“Yeah. Me too. I’m glad that we can move on from the past, Kels, and not allow our choices to hold us hostage.” Once again, those dark eyes sparkled and took a gander across his face. “You're not too shabby, you know. That could almost be considered wisdom.”
A smile twitched his lips.
