Wrangling Her Heart
There’s a lot riding on Witt Buckton’s fresh start in Martins Gap, Texas. His cousins at Blue Thorn are counting on him to make the new arm of their ranch business a success. First, however, he’ll have to figure out how to work with Jana Powers. The petite, energetic spitfire immediately locks horns with the blue-eyed rancher. But she doesn’t just challenge him—she captivates him. As they work together, Witt and Jana discover common ground…and something more. Sweet Jana has left her brand on Witt’s heart, and now he faces his greatest challenge yet: convincing her that love can be worth the risk.
“I’m not talking as your boss right now, Jana.”
Witt tapped her head, making her look up at him. She knew she’d be lost when she did, for the look in his eyes seemed to go right through her. There wasn’t any hope of hiding what had grown between them at that point. Whether it made business sense or not hardly mattered. “I’m talking as your…friend,” he said, the hesitation speaking volumes. After a moment, he leaned in and left a soft kiss on her cheek. She felt herself dissolve under the tenderness. “As someone who…cares about you.”
She didn’t even realize that her hand had lifted to the spot where he’d kissed her until she followed his gaze. “Witt…”
“Yeah,” he said softly, touching her hand as it lay against her cheek. “We’re going to have to figure out what to do about that. But not now.”

Jana Powers stared at the truck in front of her. “It’s blue.”
Her new boss, Witt Buckton, didn’t seem to especially mind. “Yes, it is.”
Jana pushed up her sleeves. She’d tried to
