Tessa Patterson has dreamed of barrel racing in the local rodeo forever. But when the big day finally arrives, her beloved Kaimanawa horse, Thunder, starts acting out, and Tessa's dream starts to slip through her fingers. Just when she's about to give up, the legendary New Zealand National Champion cowboy Caine Foster steps in to help.
With a steady hand and a gentle touch, Caine effortlessly tames the unruly horse, repairing the fractured bond between horse and rider and putting Tessa's dreams firmly back in her grasp.
But Caine's mastery of horsemanship is just the beginning. Behind the scenes of the rodeo, a fiery passion ignites between them, and Caine's dominant desires awaken a longing in Tessa she never knew existed. He wants to claim her and make her his own, commanding her submission in ways she never would have imagined.
Can Tessa find the courage to surrender her heart to Caine and call him Daddy – just as the little girl inside of her desires?
