Heartbreak's Reward — Mary J. McCoy-Dressel

Rancher Jase Carlson doesn't understand the ache in the hollow of his chest since his ex-wife ripped his heart out. She doesn't follow the court rules where his children are concerned, making him even more pissed off when she steals them away from him. Harboring a bad attitude, and dedicating his life to finding his kids, he wishes he wasn't a gentleman when he comes to the aid of a quick-tempered, sexy blonde. He can't allow her tight jeans and sweet smile to sway him, even after he's coerced into spending time alone with her. Fighting the torturous battle going on within his own mind and body, he can either deal with it -- or succumb to the woman who appears to be everything he didn't know he needed.

In an attempt to save her rebellious teen sister from herself -- as her guardian, Brenna Page leaves everything behind and moves to Canyon Junction, Arizona. When she unexpectedly meets a hot-headed cowboy with intense blue eyes and muscles to die for, the first thing she wants to do is get away. Since she can't seem to shake him, Brenna wonders if that same grudge-filled cowboy is someone worth taking on. But still dealing with painful memories, a nightmare behind her eyes she can't forget, and a sister who wants nothing to do with Arizona, the last thing she needs right now is a horse ranching cowboy interfering.

One wrong turn. Two broken families. Brought together by chance and need.
