Renegade Hearts — Anne Patrick

Single mother Jenny Holloway has her hands full running a 1200-acre ranch, and keeping her daredevil son out of the emergency room. So when her foreman suggests she hire on his son, who just got home from the war, Jenny jumps at the opportunity of having another skilled cowboy around.

Gil Montgomery had his life all planned out, until a roadside bomb in Iraq ended his army career. When his dad suggested he work for him at the Hazy Holloway Ranch, Gil wasn't too thrilled with the idea; but, he needed a job and there were worst things he could be doing with his time.

Gil is used to taking orders, even from women. What he isn't prepared for are the feelings this little firecracker of a woman triggers in him. The unexpected death of her husband has left her jaded and afraid to risk her heart getting broken again. Somehow, he has to gain her trust and prove he isn't going anywhere.
