Is he a threat...or her protector?
Barrel racer Faith Hartman hasn’t set foot in a rodeo since she was attacked two years ago. Just when she’s ready to move on, along comes Drew Miller, a dead ringer for her assailant...and her new neighbor. Faith wants to give Drew the benefit of the doubt, but every time he’s near, her fight-or-flight instinct goes into overdrive.
When the solitary veteran asks Faith to give him and his daughter riding lessons, the obvious answer is no. She can’t risk setting back her rodeo dreams—or her recovery. Still, Faith is drawn to Drew’s quiet strength, and the hint of vulnerability that suggests he’s battling his own demons, too...
JEANNIE WATT lives on a small cattle ranch in Montana’s beautiful Madison Valley. When she’s not writing, Jeannie serves as the tractor copilot (aka the gate-opener/cattle-fender-offer). She enjoys horseback riding, reading, sewing and knitting.

“Faith Hartman?”
The unexpected sound of her name brought her head up and she found herself staring into ice-blue eyes. It took her a second to find her voice, because this guy—this tall, dark, trigger-inducing man—couldn’t be pixie-like Debra’s brother. Could he?
She cleared her throat and managed to say “Yes, I’m Faith” in a remarkably normal voice.
“Drew Miller.”
Worst nightmare coming true. She somehow managed to force her lips into a smile as excuses started tumbling over themselves in her brain. Her schedule had changed...she’d decided not to take on clients...her job was taking up more time than she’d anticipated...
Get a grip.
She really hoped she could. More than once she’d left public places because of people who reminded her of her assailant. But grip or not, she wasn’t going to be spending time with this guy. How could she if having him sit across the table from her made her heart race?
And the worst part was that he was her new neighbor.
We all have moments when we want to get away—to escape the reality of our lives, regroup and rejuvenate. In this story, both the hero and heroine have experienced life-altering traumas, escaped to heal and are now finding their way back.
Faith Hartman has spent a year recovering from an assault and is now actively working to put her life back on track and reclaim her place in the rodeo world. My hero, Drew, on the other hand, is still working through his pain and looking for strategies to help him build a life for him and his young daughter. When he approaches Faith for riding lessons, he never dreams that he’ll end up traveling the state, acting as her bodyguard as she competes in rodeos...or that he’s going to fall in love with her.
Drew and Faith had a rough journey toward their happily-ever-after, and they beat me up a little on the way. I didn’t mind, though. It was worth it to get these two together.
Happy reading,
Jeannie Watt
