The Cowgirl Meets Her Match — Kristin Vayden

Love takes a special kind of courage . . .

Captain Sterling Garlington has faced down enemy fire without losing his nerve. But after a life-altering injury derails his military career, the former US marine is suddenly taking his marching orders from a sexy, edgy beauty at the Elk Heights Ranch. Even more amazing, equine therapist Harper Matthews makes him want to not only embrace life again -- but give in to the attraction simmering between them.

Her love of horses is Harper's magic bullet -- her way of healing the painful past. And in the wounded soldier she recognizes a kindred spirit. Part of her wants to bolt, yet at the same time Sterling is drawing her closer. Maybe its his courage. Or his mega-watt smile. Or both. Either way, shell make a cowboy out of the wary war hero yet. Its like getting back on a horse. They'll just have to learn to trust each other -- and be willing to open their hearts . . .
