Kate has always been a city girl. The city is all she knows, and she’s fine with that until an ex-boyfriend knocks on her door and destroys all her carefully made plans. Now, she has no choice but to run and get as far away from the city as possible. Head west. Move fast. She doesn’t stop until she finds herself in the mountains of Wyoming.
Answering an ad looking for help on a ranch should have been a silly idea, but Kate’s never been afraid of hard work and she likes animals. Besides, no one should find her out in the middle of nowhere. Steele Mountain Ranch is safe and exactly what she’s looking for, or so she thinks.
Dakota Steele, the namesake of the ranch. Wiley Carter, the horse wrangler. Levi James, the lead cowhand. Each of them is as unpredictable as the Wyoming weather. But not everything is as safe as it seems out in the mountains. Kate may have run from a murder of crows only to find herself in a rattlesnake nest, and everyone knows a rattlesnake bite can be deadly.
The past is coming for Kate. She can’t run forever, but Steele Mountain won’t let her go without a fight. Out here, they don’t call 911.
Come and take her.
