Secret Wishes — Nikki Ashton

Caleb Tremaine is a quiet country boy, who leads a simple life. All he ever wanted, was a family that loved him and to work with his beloved horses - the Connor family gave him all that and more.Lorelai, Jesse Connor's cousin, is wild, sassy and sexy with crazy ways and a great collection of slogan t-shirts. She says it how it is and is never too shy to dish out a bitchy comment â€" whether it's needed or not. All she's ever wanted is to know where the latest party is and which boy she can fool around with next. But, when her crazy goes too far, she's shipped off to her cousin's ranch.Caleb - I tried to appear calm, collected and unaffected by the little demon princess that Ted had brought home with him. Bonnie had warned me that Lorelai was a live-wire, but I hadn't for one-minute thought she'd affect me in such a way. I wanted to kiss those beautifully big lips of hers until she could hardly breathe. As soon as I'd laid eyes on her something shifted inside of me and I felt helpless. Anything she'd asked of me in that moment, I'd have done it.***Lorelai's attraction to the quiet, sexy cowboy is more than just physical. His constant need to call her out on her attitude and reminding her she's worth much more than that she settles for, triggers emotions she's sure she doesn't deserve.Lorelai - He had no idea what I wanted, or even what I deserved in life. He didn't know me. Aim higher he said, well it was hard to aim higher when your own actions kept pushing you back to ground level.***They shouldn't work together, but somehow they do and a blossoming friendship soon turns to something so much more.Will Lorelai ever believe she is worthy of the love Caleb seems insistent on giving her, or will her past choices come back to ruin her secret wishes.Secret Wishes is a story of change, a story of growth and a story of two people who were meant to fall in love.Join the Connor family for the final instalment of the Connor Ranch Series, in this beautiful, heart-wrenching love story.
