Publisher Description
The bestselling Queen of Cowboy Romance delivers a heartwarming novel where a doctor and veterinarian get a second chance at true love when a storm traps them together.
After traveling the world, Dr. Cody Ryan has finally come home to his foster family’s ranch in Honey Grove, Texas. But all his time in Doctors Without Borders couldn’t have prepared him for the sudden blizzard that forces him to take shelter in an old barn—or for the shock of watching Stephanie O’Dell yank open that same barn door minutes later. He’s barely seen the gorgeous veterinarian since he returned, so why is she icier than the wind outside?
Stephanie—better known as Dr. Stevie around Sunflower Ranch—has been treating the cattle there for years…and not one of them is as bullheaded as Cody. He’s completely forgotten how he broke her heart, back when she was a teenager smitten by his easy charm and sharp wit. But as the blizzard rages on, trapping Cody and Stevie together, it’s clear that the fire they’ve built to keep warm isn’t the only source of sparks in that barn. Once the storm passes, will Stevie and Cody discover that they’ve fallen in love …and will either of them ever admit it?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Brown delivers plenty of small-town Texan charm in her second Ryan Family romance (after Second Chance at Sunflower Ranch). After traveling the world with Doctors Without Borders, Cody Ryan returns to his family's ranch in Honey Grove, Tex., to care for his father, who has multiple sclerosis. When a snowstorm hits and Cody crashes his truck, he finds shelter in the barn of one of his patients. Veterinarian Stevie O'Dell, who also returned to town to care for her mother (who has since died), ends up in the barn, too, after her tires blow out. Stevie's been avoiding Cody, her high school sweetheart, as she never got over him breaking up with her 20 years before. Even after Cody's brother Jesse comes to their rescue, the roads back to Stevie's remain impassable, leading her to crash at Cody's ranch bunkhouse. Stranded together for several days, their feelings rekindle—but will either be willing to risk their heart? Brown excels at crafting down-to-earth characters, and her magnetic protagonists are bolstered through the tragedies and trials of life with the support of their close-knit community. The idyllic small-town setting and charming couple are sure to appeal to fans of Western romance.
