Montana Dawn - Wild Sky, #1

Cowboy and conservationist Carson Granger returns to Three River Ranch, determined to transform his embattled family home into a mustang sanctuary. But his late father, controlling even from the grave, had different ideas, and left an iron-clad will to enforce them. Aurora McAllister's empathic ability and her therapy dog work wonders with troubled children. But when Rory's personal life falls apart, she takes her broken heart and flees.
Three River Ranch is the perfect place to rest, heal and start over. Unfortunately, no one told her about the estranged son, or the grim Granger history. The man's energy is raw and full of pain, but beneath that there's a kindness that attracts her. Carson wants Rory gone. Her relentless optimism and her mop of a dog are messing up all his plans. Then he sees her with the wild mustang mare he's rehabilitating.
The woman has skills. Maybe Rory is the key he didn't realize he was looking for. But Rory also has secrets and when it comes to women, the Granger men are cursed. His dreams for her future? Even he's not that cold. Then Rory makes him an offer he can't refuse.
