"I don't think I could stay away from you if I tried."
He shook his head.
"And I have been trying. I told myself not to go to your house tonight.
I ordered my hand not to hold yours.
But apparently I can't control myself when it comes to you, Elle Brooks."
When a kitchen fire forces young widow Elle Brooks to move in with her friend Bryn and her motley collection of rescue animals, she doesn't foresee ending up in the muscled arms of handsome cowboy and veterinarian Brody Tate. Spending time with the hunky cowboy and his adorable young daughter as they rehabilitate rescued horses reminds Elle of all she lost in a car crash years ago.
Brody is devoted to being a good dad for his spirited daughter. He hasn't let romance even enter his head. But now he's met Elle. Spending time with her is shaking up the calm he's worked so hard to achieve, and he can't seem to get this woman off his mind.

"When a kitchen fire forces young widow Elle Brooks to move in with her friend Bryn and her motley collection of rescue animals, she doesn't foresee ending up in the muscled arms of handsome cowboy and veterinarian Brody Tate. But she can't deny the feelings that being close to Brody are stirring in her. Spending time with the hunky cowboy and his adorable young daughter as they rehabilitate rescued horses reminds Elle of all she lost in a car crash years ago. As a widower himself, Brody is devoted to being a good dad for his spirited daughter. He hasn't let romance even enter his head. But now he's met Elle. Spending time with her is shaking up the calm he's worked so hard to achieve, and he can't seem to get this woman off his mind. Elle and Brody have both lost people they loved, but their mutual attraction and growing feelings are too strong to ignore. The hope of a future together is a beautiful possibility, but can these two wounded souls take a chance on each other and find the courage to love again?"--Provided by publisher.
