“Not your horse, not your concern,” the cowboy says dismissively.
“That may be, but I’d like to offer an alternative to killing—”
Ignoring me and without another word, the big lug turns on his heel and disappears around the trailer.
“It is his horse. He can do what he likes,” the deputy offers. Typical.
My stomach churns as I watch the truck and trailer drive off with the injured horse in the back.
“Who is that anyway?” Lucy asks the cop.
“That’s J. Harvey. He’s well known around these parts.”
I bet he is. He may be an exceptionally handsome man, but he’s an arrogant prick.

Read more about Alex and Jonas in HIGH MEADOW, first book in my new High Mountain Trackers series.
Get your copy here.
An emergency call to pick up an injured stallion on the side of the road sends Alexandra Hart, the new owner of Hart's Horse Rescue, into action. A recent addition to the area, she is not impressed when the animal's taciturn owner shows up. With his less-than-stellar disposition, he’s the kind of man she normally avoids at all costs, unfortunately, he owns the ranch just down the road.
* * *
However, when the manhunt for a pair of escaped prisoners gets a little too close for comfort, Jonas turns out to be a better neighbor than she expected.
* * *
The Alex who shows up at his ranch to help with his prize stud’s recovery is not exactly who Jonas Harvey expected. This is the same bleeding heart he met on the side of the road. Worried she’s not up for the job, he’d prefer to keep a close eye on her but his High Mountain Trackers team gets called in to track down a group of domestic terrorists.
* * *
But the slip of a woman proves him wrong. On all fronts. Alex not only charms his horses but him as well, and when trouble comes calling she proves to be a worthy ally to boot.

Acknowledgments
First and foremost, let me thank YOU, my readers. Some of you have been patiently waiting for Yanis and Bree’s story and I genuinely hope you enjoyed it!
* * *
I’m always grateful to my list of usual suspects.
My editor, Karen Hrdlicka, and alpha reader and proofreader, Joanne Thompson. They make me look so much better than I am.
My agent, Stephanie Phillips of SBR Media, who finds new folks to love my books all the time.
My publicists, Debra Presley and Drue Hoffman and my PA Krystal Weiss of Buoni Amici Press. These ladies make me look professional and on the ball. Believe me, I’m not.
My beta readers—Deb Blake, Pam Buchanan, and Petra Gleason. I’m so lucky with these three. Theirs are the last eyes on the manuscript, ironing out the final few wrinkles
My Barks&Bites reader group is amazing. A great, welcoming group of people who love discussing books, having fun, sharing stories, and supporting and uplifting each other. I’m fortunate to have them in my corner.
I’m blessed with my ARC readers, the blogs who support me, and some fantastic colleagues all willing to read and/or support each new book I put out there. I so appreciate you!
My hubs deserves a special thank you. He’s not a reader, he also doesn’t really understand what it is that keeps me glued to my laptop all the time, but he’s always there, looking after me when I have my nose to the grindstone, and cheering me on!
* * *
I love you all!
