She's the last kind of distraction he needs, he's the only distraction she wants…
Caroline Murphy, a widow wracked by guilt and loss, leaves Miami in order to start over. Despite her grief, she finds a new beginning on a Montana dude ranch and learns to live again. To her shock, she develops an intense attraction to surly cowboy Sam Black who makes her feel again.
Although Sam can't shake his reputation as a real ladies' man, he'll never again mix business and pleasure—not since a long-ago fire on his family's land. Distraction can too easily lead to danger, yet Caroline's very presence tempts him to risk all he holds dear.
Will he push her away for good in order to protect his promises and safeguard his home and family? Or can she convince him that true love is worth some risk?

Reviews:
"This book comes to life, envelops you and places you between the pages. Well done JB Schroeder!" ~Cheryl, Goodreads reviewer
"Great reading. Couldn't quit til I finished!" ~ Shauna, ARC reader
"I loved the book and it touched my heart." ~ Becky K., Goodreads reviewer
"Instant visceral attraction is present, but the denial of it, by the two main characters, because of their issues, is described with great sensitivity. Tears may flow, at several points, so keep the tissues nearby, but solid inner strength and smiles in the rugged open spaces of the Big Sky country, Montana, are healing." ~Linda C., Goodreads reviewer
"The plot flows smoothly, and the characters are well-developed. I love this author and this series." ~Teresa, Bookbub reviewer
