Roaring Fork Roughstock — Heather Slade

He's a roughstocker with a secret.She's a rancher who wishes he was dead.Will these sworn enemies save her ranch before it's too late? PORTERAs a Colorado rancher, I plan to die right here on this land. But apparently, someone has other plans for me—plans that I'm dreading more than a 4:00 am wakeup call. Spending a year working a failing roughstock operation in a place I swore I'd never return seems like someone's idea of a cruel and sick joke—especially when I discover who I'm supposed to be helping. And believe me, Cici, the young filly running this operation would rather eat hay off a pitch fork than look me in the face. Admittedly, I don't blame her after what I did. CICIPorter Wheaton ruined my life—wrecked my entire world. And now, he's here and for what? To make amends? I'm well aware we're on the verge of bankruptcy, but he's the last person I'd ever want helping us. As far as I'm concerned, he's dead to me—or at least should be.
