Healing, like love, takes time . . .

For Noah Mabry, it’s easier sometimes to relate to the dogs
and horses he trains than to other people. Ever since his
marriage became a casualty of the war in Afghanistan—torn
apart by the PTSD he brought back with him—he prefers to be
on his own. At the Bar C Ranch, where he works with a crew
of fellow military vets, his gentle patience helps tame even
the rowdiest mustang—but he’s about to meet a woman who
needs a healing touch he’s not sure he can give.

Dair Wilson, a half-Comanche ex-Marine who lost a foot to an
IED, has been hired on to assist Noah, but her deepest
wounds aren’t visible. Growing up in an abusive home, she
learned not to trust men, even ones who seem nothing but
kind. After a wild horse sends her sprawling, the attentive
care she receives from the Bar C family—and especially from
Noah—is enough to convince her she’s found a place she can
finally breathe easy. But one angry, damaged man poses a
threat not only to Dair and Noah, but to everyone who’s
built a new home at the Bar C . . .
