Garrett Saunders' world changed two years ago on a road in Afghanistan. Back home, he feels like a stranger. As he struggles to find his place in the world, he meets a horse destined for the slaughterhouse and a woman bent on rescuing the strays of the world, including him.
Blair Greyson moves to Masonville to look after her ailing grandfather and give her rescue horses a home. Right away she butts heads with a surly former Marine. Despite a rocky start, they come to an agreement: Blair will board Garrett's rescue horse and he'll help with repairs around her farm.
Garrett finds purpose working with Blair—and falls in love with her. But she's hiding a secret. Can she forgive herself and accept Garrett's love, or will she let guilt and regret continue to rule her life?
“Do you remember the
last summer I saw you, just before I joined the Marines? Your brothers were
both working for the summer, so you came out to your grandparents’ farm on your
own.”
Blair’s face grew
hot at the memory. She pulled his shirt from his jeans and laid her palm
against the warm, hard muscles of his abdomen. “You mean the summer I threw
myself at you and you totally rejected me? No, I barely remember that at all.”
He chuckled as he
pushed her shirt off her shoulders. “I was sorely tempted that summer. There
you were, prancing around in your short shorts and bikini top, working in your
grandmother’s garden while I mowed the lawns. You must have known you were
driving me crazy.”
Actually, she hadn’t
known. He’d done a great job of ignoring her and making her believe she was
nothing but a nuisance. She looked up at him, tilting her head to one side. “If
you were so tempted, why did you tell me to take a hike when I tried to seduce
you?”
“You were fifteen,
Blair. Three years younger than me and just a kid. If you’d known what I wanted
to do with you…” His unfinished sentence shimmered between them.
He was such an
honorable man. He hadn’t wanted to take advantage of a young girl with a case
of raging hormones and too little sense. A girl who believed her only worth was
in what her body could give to a boy.
“Perhaps you can
show me now.” Blair slowly lowered the zipper of his pants. “I’m not a kid
anymore.”
