Chloe Colter thinks she'll finally be able to fulfill her dream of getting married after over a decade of school to become an equine vet. But her dreams of a perfect life are shattered when her fiancé becomes abusive, forcing her to finally break away from a destructive relationship.

Life has always been simple for Gabe Walker...until the moment he kisses Chloe Colter at a New Year's Eve party. He wants her, and he's used to getting what he wants. Can he convince Chloe to accept a job at his horse ranch so he can see her every day and slowly watch her passion emerge as she learns to trust a man again?

The fire between Gabe and Chloe burns hot, but can Chloe finally let go of her horrifying life before Gabe and give him a chance? Is she strong enough to reach out and take a man who wants her, doesn't want to change her, and cares about her exactly as she is? Or will the emotional turmoil of how Gabe makes her feel make it even harder for her to heal and force her to walk away?
