The Prodigal Cowboy - The Iron Ridge Dynasty, #1

Beau Sterling was the king of country music--until a public meltdown left his career in ashes and his reputation in the dirt. Now, the only way to save his family's dying ranch is to trade his guitar for a pitchfork and work the land he once abandoned. But the ranch isn't the only thing that's changed. Enter Cassidy Raines: the relentless horse trainer with a heart of flint and a long memory. She hasn't forgotten the boy who broke her heart and left Sterling Creek without looking back, and she certainly doesn't trust the man who's returned. Forced to work together to build a mustang rescue facility, the air between them crackles with more than just old resentment. As the sun sets over the 'Vantage Point' Ridge, Beau realizes that taming wild horses is easy compared to earning Cassidy's forgiveness. Between midnight kitchen talks and dangerous moments in the arena, a simmering heat begins to thaw Cassidy's icy exterior. But with the Sterling legacy on the line and Beau's old life calling, can a washed-up star and a grumpy trainer find a second chance at a forever love? Or are some betrayals too deep to heal? If you love gender-reversed grumpy/sunshine, second-chance romance, and the heat of a small-town summer, you'll fall for The Prodigal Cowboy.
