Josie Hayes is always on the run. From bad decisions. From heartbreak. From cowboys.Her latest escape was supposed to be a quiet reset at her family's cabin in Tennessee-not a reckless detour at a smoky backwoods bar, and definitely not a collision with Lincoln Carter. Rugged and magnetic, he's temptation in a cowboy hat, and his slow smile makes forgetting her rules far too easy.Their connection is instant, electric, and impossible to ignore. What starts with teasing glances and lingering touches spirals into a night that feels like more-too much more. By sunrise, Josie does what she does best: she bolts, leaving behind only her name and the memory of a man she can't shake. A year later, Josie's done running. With a steady job, a new boyfriend, and her life finally on track, she's ready to prove she's not the same girl she used to be. Except her father's prestigious summer horse training program just brought a ghost from her past straight to her front door.Lincoln isn't the forgiving type, and now that he's on the ranch, he's determined to show Josie exactly what she left behind-and what they could have had if she'd stayed.As old wounds reopen and sparks reignite, Josie must decide: keep running from her past or take a chance on the cowboy who just might be worth staying for.
