Two rivals. One snowstorm. An unexpected spark.

Arabella

Returning to Bluefern to care for my father wasn’t part of my plan. But here I am, doing my best as the town’s new vet and trying to avoid Rafferty Moon, the one person who knows exactly how to get under my skin. We were high school rivals through and through, constantly competing to be the best. Now he’s the town doctor, and it feels like no time has passed—as if the years haven’t erased the tension that crackles every time we’re in the same room. But when a snowstorm traps us together, I start to see a different side of him, one that I can’t ignore. Maybe he’s not just my old rival; maybe there’s more to him than I ever allowed myself to see.

Rafferty

Arabella Collins. The name alone still stirs something up inside me, something sharp and undeniable. High school was a battlefield, and she was my biggest competition. Now she’s back, all fire and determination, caring for her father and running her vet practice, and somehow, we’re right back to butting heads. But as we’re forced together by circumstances neither of us can control, I begin to wonder if there’s more to her than I thought—more than the smart, ambitious girl I used to try to outdo. I start to see her warmth, her resilience, and suddenly, I want more than just a fleeting spark.

I ran.

What else could I do? I'm all my daughter has in this world. I'll do anything to make sure she's safe.

My path led me to a new identity, a job and rented room at the Crescent Moon Ranch. Even though I don't deserve it, the Moon family welcomes me into their loving world. Especially the youngest son, Thad Moon. He's everything a woman could want—smart, kind, handsome. If only I could tell him the truth about who I really am. But doing so would expose him and his family to danger and scandal. And the last thing I want to do is hurt another family.

A grumpy rancher who cares more for horses than people.

Not this city girl's cup of tea. At all.

After my twin sister's betrayal, I started fresh in America working on a dude ranch in the middle of nowhere. The last thing I need is a cantankerous rancher with an attitude looking at me with disapproval in his eyes.

My chattiness and optimism clearly irritate him, so I take the high road and choose to ignore him.

But when Soren Moon offers to rent me a room in his house, I can't refuse. A broke English girl doesn't have that many options in Bluefern, Montana. Even though that leaves me alone with him way too often.

When my past comes knocking on my door, everything I've worked to rebuild comes crashing down around me. Strangely enough, it's Soren who offers to help. Even stranger? It's him I turn to, and the sparks between us are impossible to ignore.
