Some scars never fade. Some ghosts refuse to stay buried.
Veterinarian Parker Mason is determined to build a new life in the wide-open spaces of Wyoming. Resolved never to be hurt again, she keeps her mind focused on her work and her heart closed to everyone except her service dog, Cooper. Despite her best efforts, when a handsome cowboy makes a disastrous first impression and ignites an unexpected connection, she finds herself torn between her fears and her desire.
Wyatt Lochlan has his hands full running his family’s business, but the new vet in town is as beautiful as she is intriguing. She’s also guarded-and stubborn. The former rodeo champion turned businessman has never backed down from a challenge though, and Parker’s combination of strong and son is impossible to ignore. As Parker and Wyatt navigate the sparks between them, a secret from Parker’s past threatens to destroy her fragile new world. Caught in the crosshairs of a media scandal and wrecked by the pain of her past, she must choose whether to face the danger alone-or trust Wyatt with the truth and her heart.
With a sweeping backdrop of the vast Wyoming landscape, readers who enjoy slow-burning romance, strong heroines, second chances, and sexy cowboys will love Making Deals.
