Montana Reins — Valerie J. Patterson

Montana Reins has always been a loner. Her mother died when she was born, and she's spent her life moving from ranch to ranch with her father, learning his trade - horse trainer. She's never had the opportunity to make any permanent friends...which makes it hard to let people into her life. Especially someone like Ethan Sterling. Ethan Sterling hired Montana Reins because of the reputation that went with the name - the best horse trainer alive. When Montana shows up, he's more than a little disgruntled to learn he actually hired the daughter and not the father. Their first introduction is even less than auspicious--Montana saves him from a trampling under the hooves of his prized stallion. But Montana's never quit a job once she's accepted it and she's not about to start now. She'll make the best of things, curb her own fiery temper and deal with Sterling's, and do her best by the job. That would be much easier if she didn't find herself fighting unfamiliar feelings for the man...feelings she's never felt for any man. And Ethan's obvious interest in furthering those feelings isn't making things any easier.
